In agent mode, `--help` is intercepted before clap to emit a JSON schema. The intercept resolved the requested subcommand and fell through a catch-all to the generic root schema (exit 0) whenever it didn't resolve — swallowing clap's "did you mean" suggestion. So `pup monitor list --help --agent` was less helpful than the same command without `--help`. Only emit a schema when the request resolves to a real command (or no subcommand was given); for an unknown subcommand, fall through to clap so it reports the typo with a suggestion. - Make `find_subcommand` alias-aware so valid aliases (e.g. `audit`) still return the scoped JSON schema instead of clap text help. - Extract `top_level_subcommand` to skip values of value-taking global flags (`--org`, `-o/--output`, `--jq`), so `--org x monitors --help` scopes to `monitors`, not the flag value. - Add unit tests for subcommand resolution, alias handling, and top-level extraction.

What does this PR do?
Use clap help text in agent mode for invalid subcommands
Motivation
Evals were showing that a lot of tokens are wasted in
--agentmode when the agent uses the wrong command name (i.epup monitorsvspup monitor). In such cases, the clap output is far more useful than the root level agent schemaAdditional Notes
