Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of method option handling in Macaulay2 and inspect how a method with Options => true currently produces null. Trace how installed methods and their options are represented, then identify the relevant tests or add coverage for this behavior. Done means the options result lists all installed methods and their options instead of null.
