Description

If command is not found, offer a suggestion based on the input string Levenshtein distance to the indexed commands.

If command is found for another platform, show it under the suggestions as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a function that computes Levenshtein distance between the user's input and each command name. Then suggest commands with smallest distance. Also, include commands for other platforms if they exist. Modify the command lookup logic to call this function when command not found.
