Omri Maya 763a3f757b feat(cli): verb-level args, deep help, server-rendered human view
Every ncl verb now declares its args: strict validation with fix-carrying
error messages, generated per-verb --help, and multi-word custom-op key
resolution (spaces vs dashes). Longest-prefix command fallback keeps dashed
positional ids intact.

Responses gain a server-rendered 'human' frame field (formatHuman hook): the
host renders tables once and every client prints them verbatim — container
agents cannot import host formatters, so this is how they get aligned output
instead of a raw column dump. --help responses carry 'human' for clean
multi-line rendering.

Robustness fixes riding along:
- generic list returns newest rows first, so the LIMIT no longer hides
  recent rows
- stdout flushed before exit — >64KB responses were silently truncated

Additive only: new response-frame fields, no schema changes.

/**
* `ncl` binary entry point.
*
* Parses argv, builds a request frame, sends it via the picked transport,
* formats the response, exits non-zero on error.
*
* Usage:
* ncl <resource> <verb> [target] [--key value ...] [--json]
*
* Examples:
* ncl groups list
* ncl groups get abc123
* ncl groups create --name foo --folder bar
* ncl groups update abc123 --name baz
* ncl help
* ncl groups help
