Description

Both of these easy-to-make mistakes for new users need to provide better answers:

```
# hsd-rpc

Research direction

Reproduce the two commands shown in the issue, then start with the hsd-cli stack entries for CLI.rpc and CLI.open. Trace how a missing command reaches NodeClient.execute and how help is rendered. Done means both mistakes produce useful guidance instead of an assertion, and `hsd-rpc help` clearly explains the available command selection.
