+
+~~~~ typescript
+import { captureProgramRun } from "@optique/testing/discover";
+
+const result = await captureProgramRun({
+  dir: new URL("./commands/", import.meta.url),

+The helper runs real command modules, hooks, and handlers.  It captures
+Optique's output callbacks; direct console or process-stream writes bypass
+capture.  Unexpected errors reject the promise.
