berdctl command changes

One command is one renderer module. Descriptors are the source for zod validation, TS input types, CLI help, and generated contract JSON. Background: docs/berdctl-architecture.md.

Rules

• Verbs must be UI-visible. Prefer reversible mutations, but one-way visible product actions like creating a session or sending a prompt are allowed. Delete, bulk, silent, invisible, or broadly destructive work requires auth/confirmation design review.
• Put bounds in zod; clap mirrors them.
• Keep descriptors import-pure. Import stores, Tauri APIs, navigation, providers, and caches only inside execute/precheck.
• Do not hand-edit generated contract JSON.
• Keep the broker command-agnostic; normal command changes do not touch src-tauri/plugins/berdctl/.
• Breaking wire reshapes bump both discovery.rs constants and the contract mirror. New commands and optional fields are not reshapes.

Workflow

• Add commands with just new-command <noun> <verb>.
• Implement src/features/berdctl/commands/impl/<verbNoun>.ts with: .strict() schema, .describe() on every field, summary, description, helpFooter, safety metadata, optional precheck, and execute.
• Update inventories only when needed: registry.ts group cli.about, top-level help pins in tree.rs, and distro/skills/berdctl/SKILL.md for overview changes.
• Run pnpm generate:berdctl-contract, pnpm vitest run src/features/berdctl, and cargo test -p berdctl from src-tauri/.
• Before review, confirm the verb is UI-visible and either reversible or a direct visible product action, help is complete, error messages name the fixing command, artifacts are regenerated, and tests cover the behavior.

Keep CLI shapes expressible by the generated field walker. If a requested operation needs an explicit null or another shape that generic flags cannot represent safely, model it as a separate command action instead of adding command-specific Rust mapping. Example: use session move --project-id <id> for moving into a project and session clear-project for moving out.
