Inconsistent description of `cds repl`: “read-eval-event loop” vs. “read-eval-print-loop”

Description

The short and detailed help texts for cds repl use different descriptions.

Running cds displays:

r | repl        read-eval-event loop

However, running cds repl --help displays:

Launches into a read-eval-print-loop, an interactive playground to
experiment with cds' JavaScript APIs.

The same difference appears in the official documentation. The command overview uses “read-eval-event loop,” while the detailed cds repl section uses the standard term “read-eval-print-loop”:

• https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/tools/cds-cli
• https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/get-started/
• https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/get-started/feature-matrix

Question

Is “read-eval-event loop” intentional terminology or a typo?

If it is intentional wordplay, could it be clarified so that readers do not mistake it for an incorrect expansion of REPL? Otherwise, could the short description be changed to “read-eval-print loop” to match the detailed help and standard REPL terminology?

Steps to reproduce

1. Run cds.
2. Observe read-eval-event loop in the command overview.
3. Run cds repl --help.
4. Observe read-eval-print-loop in the detailed description.

Environment

@sap/cds-dk (global)  10.0.7
Node.js               24.18.0
