Description

The current src/cli.cr dispatcher is tightly coupled to specific subcommand modules. This task involves refactoring it to allow new top-level commands to be added without modifying the central dispatcher.

Expected outcome

New top-level commands can be registered with the central CLI dispatcher without touching src/cli.cr. DocMachine::Cli#start adheres to the Open/Closed Principle.

Current state

src/cli.cr directly imports and calls add_options on each subcommand module. Adding a new command requires editing src/cli.cr.

Technical details

Explore command discovery or registration patterns (array of CLI classes, macro-based registration, etc.).
The main CLI should iterate over registered command handlers.
Existing add_options signatures should be maintained or migrated cleanly.
