[research] LLM hallucinates non-existent CLI flags or standard tool arguments

Use --help or man page retrieval as a grounding step before generating CLI commands, or rely on strictly curated tool schemas provided in the system prompt.

Journey Context:
LLMs often invent flags that look syntactically correct \(e.g., git commit --amend-message instead of git commit --amend -m\). Because CLI tools lack standard schemas in training data compared to programming languages, hallucination rates for flags are disproportionately high.
