xiongyuanwen-byted be2a96f490 feat(sheets): harden error prescriptions, batch updates, and read workflows
Aggregate the sheets work from feat/lark-sheets-develop:

- Improve validation errors with schema hints, aggregated issues, enum guidance, and prescriptive flag/style-field messages.
- Harden +batch-update input contracts, key normalization, style vocabulary handling, and resource-budget checks.
- Add read offload and truncation handling for cells, csv, and table-get, with typed output-path errors and safer jq/output-path semantics.
- Correct freeze semantics by emitting full-state freeze/unfreeze operations and adding --rows/--cols for +dim-freeze.
- Improve +styles-put and shared --styles parsing for styles, merges, row/column sizing, freeze, and sheet-prefixed range validation.
- Fix dim-insert inherit-style mapping, table-get date/time handling, table-put style anchors, and CSV path-shaped input guards.
- Update lark-sheets skill docs, scripts, tests, and generated flag data.

Tested with:
- go test ./shortcuts/common ./shortcuts/sheets/...
- go test ./shortcuts/... ./internal/...
- python3 -m py_compile skills/lark-sheets/scripts/*.py

// sheets domain specifically: hallucinated flag names (--cols for --range,
// --file for --csv) whose unknown-flag error only points at --help, and
// enum values imported from CSS / Excel vocabulary ("center" for the
// vertical alignment Lark spells "middle"). Both fixes are wired through
// the existing PostMount hook and composed onto any prior PostMount in
// Shortcuts(); exact flag-name aliases use common.Flag.Aliases separately.
// withFlagErgonomics wraps an optional PostMount so that, after it runs,
// the command gets the sheets-specific unknown-flag error (valid flags
// inlined) and enum-value normalization (canonical vocabulary auto-applied,

// Eval traces show unknown-flag failures cluster on a handful of habitual

// agents import from generic CLI / Excel vocabulary. Two tiers, mirroring
// the enum-normalization contract above: a name whose value semantics are
// identical to the real flag is rewritten silently (zero round-trips); a
// name whose fix changes the value or moves it into a JSON field gets a
// curated prescription on the unknown-flag error instead — never a silent
// rewrite.
// commandFlagAliases maps, per command, habitual flag names onto the flag
// actually registered. Only pairs with identical value semantics belong
// here: the rewrite is invisible, so it must be safe to apply unread
// (+csv-put --file with a path value still trips the file-path guard, which
