Remove shorthand commands and improve command suggestions#178

… commands Remove the shorthand aliases `tools`, `resources`, and `prompts` that previously mapped to their `-list` counterparts. Bare prefix commands now produce a helpful error suggesting the primary action command (e.g., `tools` → `tools-call`, `resources` → `resources-read`, `prompts` → `prompts-get`). https://claude.ai/code/session_01CtojWxD6727Ba3vERgXxyk

Summary
This PR removes the shorthand
tools,resources, andpromptscommands and improves the command suggestion system to guide users to the full command names when they use the bare prefixes.Key Changes
tools,resources, andpromptscommands from the CLI, keeping only their full variants (tools-list,resources-list,prompts-list)KNOWN_SESSION_COMMANDSin the parsersuggestCommand()that suggests the appropriate-listvariant when users type bare prefixes (e.g.,tools→tools-list)Implementation Details
The command suggestion system now includes a new prefix-matching step that checks if an unknown command matches one of the known bare prefixes (
tools,resources,prompts) and suggests the corresponding-listcommand. This provides a better user experience by guiding users to the correct command without requiring them to remember the full naming convention.The prefix matching is case-insensitive and runs before the Levenshtein distance fallback, ensuring that exact prefix matches are prioritized over fuzzy matching.
