      "--persistence-mode: Set disk persistence to journal_snapshot, snapshot, or off. For create, omit to use the plan default. The docs do not state these values are mutually exclusive, but the option accepts one mode.",
      "<keyValueID|keyValueName> (required): Target Key Value ID or name for update/get. Name lookup uses the active workspace; use an ID or disambiguate duplicate names with --environment.",
      "Prerequisite: Use Render CLI v2.22.0 or later for the release-note change. Authenticate with `render login` or an API key; the CLI docs describe API-key authentication for automation.",
