mxcli syntax lookup misses common statement verbs (grant) and two-level names (integration message-definition) #1389
Description
Environment: mxcli v0.25.0.
What happens
mxcli syntax grant→Unknown topic: grant, althoughgrantis a listed keyword of thesecurity entity-accesspage (Keywords: entity access, grant, revoke, …).mxcli syntax integration message-definition→No topic "integration.message-definition". Showing 1 topic(s) matching "message-definition". This one recovers, but only through the fallback.
Why it matters
People and coding agents look a statement up by its verb first (grant, revoke, alter, refresh). An "Unknown topic" sends them to guess the syntax, which is exactly what mxcli syntax exists to prevent.
Feature suggestions
- Resolve a single word against the topics' keywords (not only their paths) and show the best matches, as the multi-word fallback already does.
- Verb aliases:
grant/revoke→security entity-access(plus the microflow/page access topics), so the common verbs never hit "Unknown topic". mxcli syntax --search <words>that prints ranked topic paths, for tooling that wants the path rather than the page.

Thanks for the triage. No diag bundle here: the session logs on this machine also cover an unrelated proprietary project, and the two commands in the description reproduce it directly.
