 - Migrate schemas: rename every `children` property to **`commands`**; move positional definitions to **`CliPositional`** objects on `positionals` and strip `positional` / `argMin` / `argMax` from flag definitions under `options` (flags only carry `name`, `description`, `kind`, and optional `shortName`).
 - Imports: use `CliPositional` where needed; replace `CliOptionDef` with `CliOption` or `CliPositional` as appropriate.
