Based on my analysis of the codebase, here's the updated spec for adding .cat -T <topic> / .cat --topic <topic> functionality:

Code Flow Analysis

The .cat command flows through these layers:

xs.nu wrapper → calls xs cat CLI with flags
src/main.rs CommandCat → parses CLI args, builds ReadOptions
client/commands.rs cat() → makes HTTP GET to / with query params
api.rs handle_stream_cat() → parses query into ReadOptions, calls Store::read
store/mod.rs Store::read() → performs backlog scan + live subscription

Change command event output: Instead of streaming each output Value as a .recv event, collect the full pipeline, then append a single frame with topic <name>.response.
Apply return_options: The new .response event must respect the suffix and ttl from the command's return_options.
Remove .complete event: No .complete frame is emitted for these commands.

meta: note that Nushell requires ( .. ) around multi-line commands, and it doesn't support trailing slashes for line continuation
