rootiest 4c51ef7a33 docs(functions): add # CATEGORY to documented function headers
Records each documented function's manual category in its own header, so
Section 5 can later be generated from source instead of hand-maintained
alongside it. Values reproduce the current grouping in
docs/manual/05-functions/ exactly; no documentation changes meaning here.

Four functions are skipped because they have no header at all yet
(branch, fc, gitup, sudo-toggle); they get one in the merge that follows.

# SYNOPSIS
# cat [args...]
#
# DESCRIPTION
# Enhanced cat replacement that uses bat for file display, runs ls when given
# a directory, falls back to raw cat for ANSI-colored log files, and finally
# falls back to standard cat if bat is not installed.
#
# ARGUMENTS
# args... Files or directories to display
#
# EXAMPLE
# cat README.md
function cat --wraps='bat' --description 'Use bat for files, ls for directories, and raw cat for ANSI logs'
# Opinionated guard (C1): fall back to bare command cat when disabled.
if not __fish_config_op_enabled __fish_config_op_aliases
command cat $argv
return $status
end
# If no arguments are provided, cat usually waits for stdin.
# We'll maintain that behavior by skipping the directory check if $argv is empty.
if set -q argv[1]
if test -d $argv[1]
# If it's a directory, run your custom ls function
ls $argv
return
end
# NEW: Check if the target file lives in your scrollback snapshot directory OR
# contains raw terminal ANSI color escape sequences.
if test -f $argv[1]
if string match -q "$SCROLLBACK_HISTORY_DIR/*" $argv[1]
or string match -qr -- '\e\[[0-9;]*m' (head -n 5 $argv[1] 2>/dev/null)
command cat $argv
return
end
end
end
# Fallback to bat or standard cat
if type -q bat
bat --plain --no-pager $argv
else
command cat $argv
end
