Description

The idea behind hiding the verb here was to be less confusing client side, but having hidden commands creates more confusion than it solves.

In general today we can detect when we're running on a booted system (e.g. systemd is running) vs a build, and just give clearer guidance then.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the documentation or command definition that hides the backend verb, then trace how the project distinguishes a booted system from a build; done means the verb is no longer confusingly hidden and guidance is clearer in each context.
