Manage drawer workflows (chains of buttons)

### Synopsis

Manage drawers — typed workflows that chain buttons with
\${ref} references between steps.

Usage:

```text theme={null}
  buttons drawer create NAME [--kind action|flow]
  buttons drawer list
  buttons drawer NAME add BUTTON [BUTTON ...]         append button step(s)
  buttons drawer NAME add drawer/OTHER                append a sub-drawer step
  buttons drawer NAME add for_each:BUTTON             append a per-item loop wrapping BUTTON
  buttons drawer NAME add wait:DURATION               append a time-based pause (e.g. wait:30s)
  buttons drawer NAME stage add ID --title TITLE      append a stage to a flow drawer
  buttons drawer NAME connect A to B                  auto-match output → args by name+type
  buttons drawer NAME connect A.output.x to B.args.y  explicit field path
  buttons drawer NAME set STEP.args.FIELD=value       literal or ${ref} into a step arg
  buttons drawer NAME set STEP.over=EXPR              for_each: the array to iterate
  buttons drawer NAME set STEP.as=NAME                for_each: loop variable name
  buttons drawer NAME set STEP.parallelism=N          for_each: max concurrent iterations (0/1 = serial)
  buttons drawer NAME set STEP.from=EXPR              aggregate: input array
  buttons drawer NAME set STEP.pluck=EXPR             aggregate: per-item expression
  buttons drawer NAME set STEP.steps.N.args.F=value   reach a nested step's arg
  buttons drawer NAME press [key=value ...]           run it; unfilled required inputs go here
  buttons drawer NAME logs [--failed] [--limit N]     past runs for this drawer
  buttons drawer NAME remove                          delete the drawer
  buttons drawer NAME                                 summary (topology + validation + recent runs)
  buttons drawer schema                               print JSON Schema for drawer.json
```

Typical authoring flow:

```text theme={null}
  buttons drawer create deploy-flow
  buttons drawer deploy-flow add build publish
  buttons drawer deploy-flow connect build to publish
  buttons drawer deploy-flow set publish.args.env=prod
  buttons drawer deploy-flow press
```

```
buttons drawer [flags]
```

### Options

  -h, --help   help for drawer
```

### Options inherited from parent commands

```
      --json       output in JSON format
      --no-input   disable all interactive prompts
      --summary    show a read-only plan/snapshot instead of mutating
```
