+//   - test: Run tests with colour-coded coverage summary
+//   - cov: Run tests with detailed coverage reports (HTML, thresholds)
+//   - fmt: Format code using goimports or gofmt
+//   - lint: Run golangci-lint
+//   - install: Install binary to $GOPATH/bin
+//   - mod: Module management (tidy, download, verify, graph)
+//   - work: Workspace management (sync, init, use)
+//
+// Sets MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to suppress linker warnings on macOS.
