January 2026 monthly performance for fleetdm/fleet focused on CLI UX improvements and bug fixes. Delivered a targeted fix to fleetctl command usage information when required arguments are missing, significantly improving user experience and reducing confusion. Implemented changes by switching help display from cli.ShowCommandHelp to cli.ShowSubcommandHelp, ensuring fleetctl config get/set usage output matches typical --help behavior. This aligns with and resolves aspects of issue #36702. Added/updated automated tests and completed manual QA to validate the fix across common usage scenarios. Overall, this work reduced potential support load, improved onboarding for new users, and strengthened CLI reliability.
