streamline backend help

[willccbb]

prime eval run --help/-h now does a direct printout of the backend help without needing an extra hop

~/dev/prime-cli (feat/streamline-backend-help) uv run prime eval run --help
Usage: prime eval run [-h] [--env-args ENV_ARGS] [--env-dir-path ENV_DIR_PATH]
               [--endpoints-path ENDPOINTS_PATH] [--model MODEL]

               [--header HEADER] [--num-examples NUM_EXAMPLES]
               [--rollouts-per-example ROLLOUTS_PER_EXAMPLE]

Note

Low Risk
Primarily affects CLI help/argument parsing and help-text rewriting, with minimal impact on core execution paths; risk is limited to potential regressions in command invocation edge cases.

Overview
Streamlines prime CLI passthrough commands so -h/--help prints the backend verifiers help directly (without a dedicated --backend-help flag) for eval run, gepa run, env init, env build, and lab setup.

This disables Typer’s default help option for these passthrough commands (help_option_names: []), makes the primary argument optional so help flags can be parsed, and adds explicit “missing argument” errors when no target is provided. Help output sanitization is improved in verifiers_bridge (more robust Usage: rewriting, eval/gepa arg rename, and idempotent injection of Prime-only eval flags), with new tests covering the help behavior and sanitization.
