Description
I noticed that keybase --help doesn't list the keybase global options (like --version or --debug). And for sub commands, the flags (e.g. --number for keybase chat) only show up when you introduce a deliberate syntax error, but are omitted in keybase help chat.
Additionally, keybase does not seem to come with a man page, although this might be an issue with my distro's packaging.

Research direction
Start by comparing the output of keybase --help, keybase help chat, and a deliberate syntax error for a subcommand. Inspect the CLI help generation and packaging entry points to determine where global and subcommand flags are documented, and check whether man-page support is handled by the project or by distro packaging. Done means the relevant help output lists the options and the man-page responsibility is clarified.
