Walkthrough

The help script changes list and target detail output. Colored list output gains styled headings, a banner, and footer tips. Target details gain a styled heading, divider, and updated prerequisite label.

Changes: Help output

Layer / File(s)	Summary
List and target help presentation utils/scripts/make-help.awk	List output uses updated headings and aligned target rows. Colored list output adds a banner and footer; uncolored list output no longer prints the former usage and help-tip lines. Target details use a styled heading, divider, and “Runs first:” label. The maximum name width decreases from 30 to 28.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~8 minutes

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — utils (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in utils/scripts/make-help.awk: Adds rule, which returns a string containing width repetitions of char.
• observed — Modified behavior in utils/scripts/make-help.awk: Section headings now use a colored arrow and divider in colored mode, while uncolored mode retains a plain title. Target rows gain an aligned separator in colored mode; both modes use separate output formatting for the target name and summary.
• observed — Modified behavior in utils/scripts/make-help.awk: The minimum name width remains 12, while its maximum decreases from 30 to 28. Adds a colored help banner with usage, detail, and color guidance, plus a footer with help tips.
• observed — Modified behavior in utils/scripts/make-help.awk: print_list now prints the banner and footer only when color is enabled. The prior unconditional usage and help-tip lines are removed; section ordering and printing remain.

Preserve usage guidance in uncolored list mode.

When color=0, print_header() and print_footer() are both skipped. The change also removes the previous unconditional usage and help-tip lines, so non-TTY make help loses that guidance. Keep equivalent plain-text guidance for uncolored output.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Suppress target decorations when color=0.

color_wrap() returns the text when color is disabled. These lines therefore still print ▸ and ─ in non-colored target help. Guard the decorative heading and divider with if (color), and emit the plain target heading otherwise.

Proposed fix

 	printf "\n"
+	if (color) {
 		printf "%s  %s\n", color_wrap("1;36", "▸"), color_wrap("1;36", "make " display_name(names[i]))
 		printf "%s\n", color_wrap("0;90", "  " rule("─", 48))
+	} else {
+		printf "make %s\n", display_name(names[i])
+	}
