$ go1.25rc1 doc -help
Usage of [go] doc:
    go doc
    go doc <pkg>
    go doc <sym>[.<methodOrField>]
    go doc [<pkg>.]<sym>[.<methodOrField>]
    go doc [<pkg>.][<sym>.]<methodOrField>
    go doc <pkg> <sym>[.<methodOrField>]
For more information run
    go help doc

Flags:
  -C dir
        change to dir before running command
  -all
        show all documentation for package
  -c    symbol matching honors case (paths not affected)
  -cmd
        show symbols with package docs even if package is a command
  -http
        serve HTML docs over HTTP
  -short
        one-line representation for each symbol
  -src
        show source code for symbol
  -u    show unexported symbols as well as exported

$ go1.25rc1 help doc
usage: go doc [doc flags] [package|[package.]symbol[.methodOrField]]

Doc prints the documentation comments associated with the item identified by its
arguments (a package, const, func, type, var, method, or struct field)
followed by a one-line summary of each of the first-level items "under"
that item (package-level declarations for a package, methods for a type,
etc.).

... [snip] ...

Flags:
    -all
        Show all the documentation for the package.
    -c
        Respect case when matching symbols.
    -cmd
        Treat a command (package main) like a regular package.
        Otherwise package main's exported symbols are hidden
        when showing the package's top-level documentation.
    -short
        One-line representation for each symbol.
    -src
        Show the full source code for the symbol. This will
        display the full Go source of its declaration and
        definition, such as a function definition (including
        the body), type declaration or enclosing const
        block. The output may therefore include unexported
        details.
    -u
        Show documentation for unexported as well as exported
        symbols, methods, and fields.

What did you expect to see?

go doc -help is inconsistent with other commands in outputting the flag section

go help doc is missing the -http flag.
