 ## Events published (`bread.help.*`)
 
 | Event | Data | When |
 |-------|------|------|
 | `bread.help.opened` | `{ "autostart": bool }` | The main help window is presented (`ApplicationWindow::present`). `autostart` is `true` when that invocation was launched with `--autostart`. |
-| `bread.help.open.done` | `{}` | `bread.command.help.open` was received and `breadhelp` was spawned. This is the command confirmation, not proof the window mapped — the spawned process is the same no-args invocation as SUPER+/. |
-| `bread.help.open.failed` | `{ "error": "<message>" }` | `bread.command.help.open` was received but this binary could not be started. |
 
 Not emitted when:
 
 - every-login `--autostart` builds a hidden window because onboarding is
   already done (silent autostart)
-- first-run `--autostart` presents the main window on the day-zero
-  wizard; the tour overlay starts after that wizard finishes (or is
-  skipped). `bread.help.opened` **is** emitted for that first-run present.
+- first-run `--autostart` starts the tour overlay without presenting the

 - `--onboard` / `--tour-event` (tour only)
 - `--screenshot` (capture, not a user-visible open)
 
 ## Commands honored (`bread.command.help.*`)
 
-These are only received while `breadhelp listen` is running. Publishing a
-command with no subscriber is a silent no-op — that is the documented
-bread convention, not a breadhelp bug.
-
-| Verb | Data | Effect |
-|------|------|--------|

-
-### Not implemented: extra verbs
-
-There is no `onboard` / `tour` / `suggest` command verb. Those already
-exist as local CLI flags (`--onboard`, `--tour-event`, `--suggest`).
-If/when a bus verb maps to real extra behavior, add it then — do not

+None. Opening the help center, starting the tour, and applying one-click
+fixes already exist as local CLI / UI paths. There is no command
+subscription, and no verb is stubbed as a no-op. If breadhelp later grows
+a bus verb that maps to real behavior, add it then.
 
 ## Fail-safe behavior
 
 - If breadd isn't installed or isn't running, `emit` is a silent no-op
-  (`BreadClient::emit` never blocks or errors the caller) and the
-  command subscription simply never receives anything — the help
+  (`BreadClient::emit` never blocks or errors the caller) — the help
   center, tour, and screenshots are entirely unaffected.
-- If breadd restarts, the command subscription reconnects automatically
-  (`BreadClient::subscribe`'s background thread has its own backoff
-  loop); no restart of `breadhelp listen` is needed.
-- If `breadhelp listen` is not running, commands are a graceful no-op at
-  the bus (no subscriber). The CLI still works.
