+  npx nitm-ai-dev-toolkit install [--monorepo|--repo] [--env <claude|codex|copilot|cursor|opencode>] [--force] [--dry-run] [--exclude <groups>|--only <groups>]
       Scaffold AI config into the current repo (auto-detects repo vs monorepo),
       tailored to your harness, then hand off to your AI agent to run the bootstrap flow.
       If files already exist, install aborts (use --force to overwrite, or \`patch\` to add missing).
+      --dry-run lists adds, overwrites, skips and conflicts; writes nothing; exits 1 if there are conflicts.
 
-  npx nitm-ai-dev-toolkit patch [--monorepo|--repo] [--env <env>]
+  npx nitm-ai-dev-toolkit patch [--monorepo|--repo] [--env <env>] [--exclude <groups>|--only <groups>] [--dry-run]
       Add only missing template files (never overwrites existing ones), then
       re-emit the bootstrap handoff so your AI agent can finish configuration.
+      A given --exclude/--only is saved to .nitm/toolkit.json and used by later patch/doctor runs.
 
-  npx nitm-ai-dev-toolkit upgrade [--env <env>] [--force]
-      Upgrade to the latest published version. Like \`patch\`, adds missing files and
-      keeps your existing ones, then re-emits the bootstrap handoff. --force also
-      overwrites existing files with the latest templates (back up customisations first).
+  npx nitm-ai-dev-toolkit upgrade [version] [--env <env>] [--force] [--dry-run] [--exclude <groups>|--only <groups>]
+      Upgrade to a pinned version: the given one (\`upgrade 5.0.1\`, \`upgrade nitm-ai-dev-toolkit@5.0.1\`,
+      or \`--version 5.0.1\`) or the latest published release, resolved and printed before anything runs.
+      Like \`patch\`, adds missing files and keeps your existing ones, then re-emits the bootstrap handoff.
+      --force also overwrites existing files with the latest templates (back up customisations first).
+      --dry-run runs the pinned version's dry run (needs ${DRY_RUN_UPGRADE_MIN} or newer).
