so like, this is a container command for Pub/Sub introspection commands. it's not out here publishing messages or anything, it's just the mom friend holding everyone's stuff 🫶

Depends on subcommand. yeah bestie, we can't tell you how hard this is until you tell us which subcommand you're running 🙈 it's a container, remember? go ask the actual command, iykyk.
