feat: support positional enum args

[TheRodzz]

Fixes #251

This PR allows defining arguments (like strings and enums) as positional arguments using the positional: true flag, as suggested in #251. This enables taking advantage of things like enum validation for positional args without manually validating them.

When positional: true is provided, alias is omitted from the valid ArgDef options. Validation and fallback defaults are now executed correctly for these positional arguments.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Improved support for positional command-line arguments, including string and enum values.
  • Positional values are now parsed into named fields while remaining available by position.
  • Added clearer validation for invalid positional enum values.

• Bug Fixes

  • Corrected required-argument handling so positional arguments are validated appropriately.
  • Improved alias handling for argument definitions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The argument definition now distinguishes positional and non-positional arguments. The parser assigns positional values to named fields, validates positional enum values, and excludes positional arguments from required checks. Tests cover successful and invalid positional enum parsing.

Changes

Positional enum argument support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Argument definition contract src/types.ts, src/command.ts	_ArgDef now separates positional definitions from non-positional definitions. Positional definitions require positional: true and cannot define aliases. _isValueFlag checks for an alias before normalizing it.
Positional parsing and validation src/args.ts, test/args.test.ts	The parser assigns positional string and enum values to named fields while preserving positional values. Enum errors use the positional argument name, and required validation excludes positional arguments. Tests cover valid and invalid enum values.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d156b

Positional boolean arguments can currently produce string values instead of booleans, which may cause incorrect command behavior for affected definitions. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merging.

Restrict positional: true to string and enum definitions.

Lines 14-21 also permit BooleanArgDef to set positional: true. src/args.ts Line 66 assigns the raw positional token without boolean coercion. A definition such as { type: "boolean", positional: true } returns "false" as a string while ParsedBooleanArg declares a boolean result.

Exclude positional from BooleanArgDef, or implement defined boolean positional coercion and tests.
