Surfaced by the Stage-1 R milestone fieldtest (the capability works; this is discoverability polish).

  1. Tap discovery. aura chart <name> --tap <bad> rejects an unknown tap but the error omits the valid names. After a stage1-r --trace run the valid taps are equity, exposure, r_equity — the error should list them (and ideally a --tap with no value, or a taps subcommand, could enumerate what a run persisted).
  2. Uneven --help. aura run --help prints usage, but aura chart --help errors with "unexpected argument" instead of printing the chart usage. Per-subcommand --help should be uniform.
Surfaced by the Stage-1 R milestone fieldtest (the capability works; this is discoverability polish). 1. **Tap discovery.** `aura chart <name> --tap <bad>` rejects an unknown tap but the error omits the valid names. After a `stage1-r --trace` run the valid taps are `equity`, `exposure`, `r_equity` — the error should list them (and ideally a `--tap` with no value, or a `taps` subcommand, could enumerate what a run persisted). 2. **Uneven --help.** `aura run --help` prints usage, but `aura chart --help` errors with "unexpected argument" instead of printing the chart usage. Per-subcommand `--help` should be uniform.
