Start by reproducing the issue with php craft ckeditor/convert against a Matrix field containing block types with nested Redactor fields. Trace the conversion command's Matrix-field handling and verify that all nested Redactor fields are detected and converted without affecting other fields.

Description

I ran php craft ckeditor/convert to convert redactor to ckeditor. Everything worked great, except it didn't detect a matrix field. The matrix field is called "Page Content" It has 4 block types. then within each block type, are 5 to 15 other fields. There were a few Redactor fields within them, and it did not detect it

Steps to reproduce
  1. run php craft ckeditor/convert on a matrix field that has different block types and redactor fields within them
