Research direction

Start by locating the CLI entry points for cp, rm, mv, mkdir, and put, then compare how each command currently parses arguments. Check the existing command behavior and tests, if present, before deciding the supported multi-argument semantics. Done means the affected commands consistently accept multiple arguments and their behavior is covered by tests.
