Problem

The internal openshell-cli code needs to be adapted to use the new CLI extension API once it is available. This issue is a follow-up to the work being done in #2319.

Blocked By

This issue has two prerequisites that must land first:

1. Define OpenShell extension API #2328 — "Define OpenShell extension API" — the extension API types (clients, gateways, registration points) need to be defined before any implementation can target them.
2. Implement OpenShell CLI extension API in the OpenShell extension #2319 — "Implement OpenShell CLI extension API in the OpenShell extension" — the concrete implementation and CLI registration must exist before this issue can adapt internal code to use it. Implement OpenShell CLI extension API in the OpenShell extension #2319 is itself blocked by Define OpenShell extension API #2328.

Both issues are currently open with no PRs in flight. Until #2319 delivers the new API and registered CLI, there is no target for the adaptation work described here.

Recommended Approach (once unblocked)

1. Identify all internal call sites in the openshell-cli code that directly invoke CLI binaries or use internal abstractions.
2. Replace those with calls through the new CLI extension API registered by Implement OpenShell CLI extension API in the OpenShell extension #2319.
3. Remove any redundant internal CLI resolution logic that is now handled by the extension API.
4. Verify all existing openshell-cli tests pass with the new API path.

Proposed Test Case

- Verify internal openshell-cli code correctly calls through the new CLI extension API
- Confirm no direct binary invocations bypass the registered CLI
- Run existing openshell-cli unit tests to ensure no regressions
- Run full monorepo TypeScript build to catch stale imports
