PR Summary

This PR resolves #2298 by adding documentation for Cobra's repeated flags functionality, covering:

  • Count Flags: CountVarP() for SSH-style verbose flags (-v, -vv, -vvv) with logging level examples.
  • Array/Slice Flags: StringArrayVarP() and StringSliceVarP() for collecting multiple values (e.g., --input file1.txt --input file2.txt or --input file1.txt,file2.txt).
  • Integration: 67 lines of clear, consistent documentation added to the user guide after "Flag Groups."
  • Quality: AI-generated (Claude Code), validated for Go syntax, Cobra API accuracy, and SSH-style CLI compatibility.
  • Impact: Enables developers to implement professional CLI flag patterns for verbose logging and multiple inputs.

Thank you for this. However a giant AI-generated text is easy to create but long to read. Can you write your own short description please.
