filip131311 26405e68c7 refactor(cli): one declarative option parser for every hand-written subcommand (#953)
Follows #952 (merged); rebased onto main.

## Why

`argent-cli` had **seven** copies of the same argv loop — `server
start`, `link`/`unlink`, `flow run`, `lens`, `config`,
`enable`/`disable`, and (from #952) `telemetry` — each hand-rolling `--x
value` / `--x=value` / `-x` / unknown-flag / missing-value handling with
slightly different messages and gaps (e.g. `lens` silently ignored
unknown flags). Adding an option meant another `if (tok === "--x") …
else if (tok.startsWith("--x="))` pair.

## What

`packages/argent-cli/src/command-args.ts` (introduced in #952) now
covers the whole subcommand surface, and every command declares its
options as a spec:

```ts
const START_OPTIONS = {
  help: { kind: "boolean", alias: "h" },
  port: { kind: "value", alias: "p" },
  …
} as const satisfies OptionSpecs;
```

Parser features: `--name value`, `--name=value`, single-letter aliases,
boolean switches, `--` end-of-options, `choices` validation, "don't
swallow a following flag as a value", and the guard against a stray
`true`/`false` word after a switch (previously duplicated in `flow` and
`lens`). Value *semantics* (port ranges, host wildcards, flag-name
charset, link targets) stay in each command — the parser only shapes
argv.

`flag-parser.ts` is untouched: it is the schema-driven `argent run
<tool>` payload builder (JSON Schema → tool args, `--args`/stdin
hatches), a different job.

## Behavior changes (bad-input paths only)

| Command | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| `lens --bogus` / `lens extra` | silently ignored | `lens: Unknown
flag: --bogus`, exit 2 |
| `lens --terminal x` | `--terminal expects "iterm" or "terminal", got
"x"` | `--terminal must be "iterm" or "terminal", got "x"` |
| `flow run --platfrom=ios` | `unknown flag --platfrom=ios` | `Unknown
flag: --platfrom=ios` |
| `unlink foo` | `Unknown flag: foo` | `Unexpected argument "foo"` |
| `config … --scope x` | `--scope must be "global" or "project", got
"x"` | unchanged wording |
| `enable/disable`, `server start`, `link` | — | unchanged wording
(tests pinned) |

Happy paths are byte-identical; `server`/`link` still throw
`StartFlagError`, `flow` still throws `FlagParseException` (wrapped from
`UsageError`), so callers and tests keep their contracts.

## Tests

`argent-cli` 489/489 (26 files): rewritten `command-args.test.ts`
(aliases, `-` positional, empty-token value, true/false guard, choices
message), pinned-string updates only where the table above says the
wording changed (`flow.test.ts` ×4, `parse-link-flags.test.ts` ×1). `tsc
--build`, `typecheck:tests`, eslint, prettier, knip green. Smoke-tested
every command's error path through the built
`packages/argent/dist/cli.js` (see the "Behavior changes" table — all
exit 2 with usage where the command prints one).

## Docs

No docs update needed: the pages document flags and their meaning, not
error strings; no flag was added, removed or renamed.

filip131311 8efd7c6346 feat: add argent server start for long-lived tool-server (#182)
## Human summary: 

This adds `argent server start` command to enable us to spawn tools
server in arbitrary location. we want this to enable using remote
tools-server via our mcp not only local ones.

## Summary

- Adds `argent server start` to spawn a tool-server that does **not**
auto-shutdown on idle, with configurable bind port and host — the
missing piece for running tool-server on a remote/dedicated host.
- Foreground by default so process supervisors (systemd, Docker,
supervisord) own the lifecycle; `--detach` keeps the existing
daemon-spawn behavior. Refuses to clobber a healthy running server
unless `--force`.
- Phase 2 (consumer-side `--tools-url` flag pointing the MCP / CLI at a
remote tool-server) is now a one-flag change away — `tools-client.ts`
and `mcp-server.ts` already honor `ARGENT_TOOLS_URL`. Out of scope for
this PR.

## What changed

- **`tool-server`** — read `HOST` env var (default `127.0.0.1` so the
existing auto-spawn path is unaffected), bind to it, attach an `error`
listener on `app.listen` so `EADDRINUSE` / `EACCES` exit cleanly instead
of routing through `uncaughtException`.
- **`argent-tools-client`** — broaden the readiness regex to match any
host; extend `buildToolsServerEnv` with optional `{ host,
idleTimeoutMinutes }`; record `host` in `~/.argent/tool-server.json`
(backward-compat: missing field defaults to `127.0.0.1`); export
`spawnToolsServer`, `findFreePort`, `isToolsServerHealthy`,
`isToolsServerProcessAlive`, the state read/write/clear helpers, and
`formatToolsServerUrl` so the CLI can reuse them.
- **`argent-cli`** — new `server start [flags]`: `--port`/`-p` (default
3001, `0` = pick free), `--host` (default `127.0.0.1`), `--idle-timeout`
(default `0` = never), `--detach`/`-d`, `--force`, `--help`. Warns when
host is non-loopback. Foreground mode forwards `SIGINT`/`SIGTERM` to the
child and writes the state file so local `argent run` / `argent mcp` can
attach.
- **`argent` dispatcher** — pass `BUNDLED_RUNTIME_PATHS` to `server()`
so the new subcommand can find the bundled tool-server.

## Test plan

- [x] `argent server --help` lists the new `start` subcommand
- [x] `argent server start --help` shows full flag reference
- [x] `argent server start --detach --port 0` → status alive/healthy,
`/tools` reachable, state file populated with `host` field
- [x] Second `argent server start --detach` refuses (`exit 1`) with
helpful message
- [x] `argent server start --detach --force` kills the old PID and
starts a new one
- [x] Foreground `argent server start --port 0` runs with inherited
stdio; child PID is the actual tool-server (not the wrapper); `argent
server stop` from a sibling shell tears down both
- [x] Existing auto-spawn path (`argent tools`) still works — verifies
the regex broadening + default-host change is backward-compatible
- [x] `tool-server` (444 tests) + `argent-tools-client` (1) + `argent`
dispatcher (1) suites pass
- [ ] Manual smoke on `--host 0.0.0.0` — could not exercise locally
(sandbox declined the public-interface bind); the warning + bind path is
identical to loopback besides the listen address
