      "railway trace status (required): Subcommand to show tracing settings and the last exported span times.",

      "--since <TIME>: Start of the time window; relative time or ISO 8601. Defaults to `1h`.",
      "--errors: Only include traces with an error span; adds `@status:error` to the filter.",
      "railway trace get <TRACE_ID> (required): Subcommand to show one trace; `<TRACE_ID>` is a required W3C trace ID of 32 hexadecimal characters.",
      "-s, --service <SERVICE>: Service name or ID; defaults to the linked service.",
      "-e, --environment <ENV>: Environment to use; defaults to the linked environment.",

      "--json: Output in JSON format.",
      "--service and --all: Mutually exclusive for applicable subcommands; `--all` selects every service in the environment.",
      "Prerequisite: Tracing is a preview feature under active development.",
      "Prerequisite: Commands use the linked service, environment, and project by default; pass `--service`, `--environment`, or `--project` to select them explicitly.",
      "Prerequisite: A project token in `RAILWAY_TOKEN` can run `status`, `list`, and `get`; changing tracing requires a user or workspace token."
