-- [ ] Graceful exit messages on cancellation
-- [ ] No orphaned processes or state
+- [ ] `p.isCancel()` checked after every prompt
+- [ ] SIGINT handled in the entry point
+- [ ] Cancellation exits with a message, leaving no half-written state
 
-**Exit Codes:**
+**Exit codes** — named constants throughout, following the Unix convention the project's set encodes:
 
-- [ ] Named constants used (EXIT_CODES.\*)
-- [ ] No magic numbers (0, 1, 2, etc.)
-- [ ] Appropriate code for each exit path
-- [ ] Documented what each code means
+- [ ] `SUCCESS` (0) for a completed operation
+- [ ] `ERROR` (1) for a general failure
+- [ ] `INVALID_ARGS` (2) for bad arguments or options
+- [ ] `CANCELLED` (130, or the project's own) for user cancellation
+- [ ] Each exit path documented with what its code means
+
+**Output styling:** `pc.green` for success, `pc.yellow` for warnings, `pc.red` for errors, `pc.dim`
+for provenance such as `(from config file)`, `pc.bold` for headers.
+
+- [ ] Styling routed through the project's helper rather than raw `console.log`
 
 **Code Quality:**
 
-- [ ] No magic numbers (named constants used)
-- [ ] No `any` types without justification
-- [ ] Follows existing naming conventions
-- [ ] Uses parseAsync() for async actions
-- [ ] Uses optsWithGlobals() for parent options
+- [ ] Named constants rather than magic numbers
+- [ ] No `any` without a justification in a comment

-### CLI-Specific Quality Checks (Expanded)
-
-**User Experience:**
-
-- Spinner for async ops: `const s = p.spinner(); s.start("Loading..."); ... s.stop("Done")`
-- Clear errors: `p.log.error("Config file not found at ~/.myapp/config.yaml")`
-- Success feedback: `p.log.success("Created 5 files")`
-- Dry-run mode: `--dry-run` flag that previews without executing
-
-**Cancellation Handling:**
-
-```typescript
-// EVERY prompt needs this pattern:
-const result = await p.select({ message: "Choose:" });
-if (p.isCancel(result)) {
-  p.cancel("Operation cancelled");
-  process.exit(EXIT_CODES.CANCELLED);
-}
-```
-
-**Exit Codes (Unix Conventions):**
-
-- SUCCESS (0): Operation completed successfully
-- ERROR (1): General error
-- INVALID_ARGS (2): Invalid arguments or options
-- CANCELLED (130 or custom): User cancelled
-
-**Output Styling (picocolors):**
-
-- Success: `pc.green("Done")`
-- Warnings: `pc.yellow("Warning: ...")`
-- Errors: `pc.red("Error: ...")`
-- Info/dim: `pc.dim("(from config file)")`
-- Headers: `pc.bold("Configuration:")`

-## Example Implementation Output
-
-Here's what a complete, high-quality CLI developer output looks like:
-
-```markdown
-# Implementation: Add Config Show Command
-
-## Investigation Notes
-
-**Files Read:**
-
-- src/cli/index.ts:1-45 - Entry point structure, SIGINT handler
-- src/cli/commands/init.ts:1-89 - Existing command pattern with options
-- src/cli/lib/exit-codes.ts:1-20 - Exit code constants
-- src/cli/lib/config.ts:45-89 - Config resolution hierarchy
-
-**Pattern Found:**
-Commands use `new Command()` with `.action(async (options, command) => {})` pattern.
-Global options accessed via `command.optsWithGlobals()`.
-All prompts check `p.isCancel()` before proceeding.
-
-## Implementation Plan
-
-1. Create `config show` subcommand following init.ts pattern
-2. Use existing `resolveSource()` from lib/config.ts
-3. Use picocolors for output formatting
-4. Follow exit code constants
-
-## Changes Made
-
-### 1. Created Config Show Command (src/cli/commands/config.ts)
-
-- Added `config show` subcommand
-- Displays current effective configuration
-- Shows source origin (flag/env/project/global/default)
-- Uses existing config resolution utilities
-
-### 2. Registered Command (src/cli/index.ts)
-
-- Imported configCommand
-- Added to program.addCommand()
-
-## Verification
-
-**Success Criteria:**
-
-- [x] Command shows current config (verified manually)
-- [x] Displays source origin (tested all 5 origins)
-- [x] Works with --dry-run flag (verified)
-- [x] Handles missing config gracefully (tested)
-
-**Quality Checks:**
-
-- [x] Uses EXIT_CODES constants (no magic numbers)
-- [x] Follows existing command pattern exactly
-- [x] Reuses existing config utilities
-
-**Build Status:**
-
-- [x] `bun test` passes
-- [x] `bun run build` succeeds
-
-## Summary
-
-**Files:** 2 changed (+47 lines)
-**Scope:** Added config show command only. Did NOT add config edit/set (not in spec).
-**For Reviewer:** Verify output formatting matches other commands.
