Research direction
Look at the implementation of `ipfs name publish` to see how the ` k` flag is defined and used. Then locate the `name resolve` command in the codebase (likely in `core/commands/name/` or similar). Add a similar ` k` flag to the resolve command's flag set, and pass the key name to the underlying resolve function. Ensure handling of the key is consistent with publish. Check for any tests in the same area and add a test for the new flag.
