-		Use:   "lint [spec-files...]",
-		Args:  cobra.MinimumNArgs(1),
-		Short: "Lint preflight specs for syntax and structural errors",
-		Long: `Lint preflight specs for syntax and structural errors.
-
-This command validates troubleshoot specs and checks for:
-- YAML syntax errors (missing colons, invalid structure)
-- Missing required fields (apiVersion, kind, metadata, spec)
-- Invalid template syntax ({{ .Values.* }}, {{ .Release.* }}, etc.)
-- Missing analyzers or collectors
-- Common structural issues
-- Missing docStrings (warning)
-
-Both v1beta2 and v1beta3 apiVersions are supported. Use 'convert' if you need a full structural conversion between schema versions.
-
-The --fix flag can automatically repair:
-- Missing colons in YAML (e.g., "metadata" → "metadata:")
-- Missing or malformed apiVersion line. If templating ({{ }}) or docString fields are detected, apiVersion is set to v1beta3; otherwise v1beta2.
-- Template expressions missing leading dot (e.g., "{{ Values.x }}" → "{{ .Values.x }}")
-
-Examples:
-  # Lint a single spec file
-  preflight lint my-preflight.yaml
-
-  # Lint multiple spec files
-  preflight lint spec1.yaml spec2.yaml spec3.yaml
-
-  # Lint with automatic fixes (may need to run multiple times for complex issues)
-  preflight lint --fix my-preflight.yaml
-
-  # Lint and output as JSON for CI/CD integration
-  preflight lint --format json my-preflight.yaml
