Issue
A command such as /help or /team is sent into chat instead of being handled privately.

Cause
Legacy command interception does not automatically carry into TextChatService.

Fix
Create a TextChatCommand, define its aliases, and handle Triggered on the correct side. Do not send the command through a RemoteEvent before deciding whether it is a chat command. For administrative commands, validate permission again on the server.

Verify
Test aliases with different capitalization and confirm the command text is not broadcast to other players.
