KnownTrade query API
====================

This endpoint understands a small set of plain-English commands.
Commands are URL-encoded and appended to /cmd/ — the full
command lives in the URL path so every distinct query has a
distinct cacheable URL.

COMMANDS
  tree [path]                   show the category hierarchy under [path]
  list [path]                   list immediate children under [path]
  find [path] [--name pattern]  recursively find entries by slug or name
  read <slug|path>              print the full markdown body of an entry
  read <slug|path> --first N    print only the first N lines (--last N for the end)
  stats <slug|path>             word, line, character count
  search <pattern> [path]       full-text search (FTS5)
  history <slug|path>           version history for an entry
  history <slug|path> --lines   per-line view — author and date next to every line
