      "<term> (required): Search term for matching GraphQL types and fields.",

      "<name> (required): GraphQL type, root field, or field in Parent.field notation to describe.",
      "<QUERY> (required): GraphQL document to execute; may be passed inline, by file, or on stdin. Pass inline query or --file, not both.",
      "--file <PATH>: Read the GraphQL document from a file; `-` reads stdin.",
      "--variables <JSON|@PATH>: Provide a JSON variables object inline or from a file; `@-` reads stdin.",
      "Prerequisite: CLI version 5.28 or later; authenticate with `railway login` or set a token.",
      "Schema discovery uses live introspection fetched from the Railway API; nothing is bundled with the CLI.",
