+ * Custom Help class to handle alias resolution for command help display.
+ *
+ * Issue: When users run "aio rt --help", oclif's help system doesn't recognize
+ * that "rt" is an alias for "runtime" and should display all subcommands.
+ * The help system looks for "rt:*" subcommands which don't exist in the manifest
+ * (they're registered as "runtime:*").
+ *
+ * Solution: Override showHelp to resolve aliases to their canonical command names
+ * before displaying help, ensuring proper subcommand listing.
+ *
+ * @see https://github.com/adobe/aio-cli-plugin-runtime
