Changes:
- Modified
--versionhandling to always callprocess.exit(0), even when version detection fails - Added
--versionto the help text options schema with description "Show version number" - Updated comment to reflect that built-in options (not just completion-script) are being added

Also fixes --version to always exit (with code 0) even when version detection fails, preventing confusing parse errors. Note: Testing --version/--help behavior is intentionally excluded from coverage as these paths call process.exit().
