Research direction
Investigate how rtk currently supports other CLIs (e.g., gh) by examining the codebase structure in the repository. Look at the glab CLI source or API documentation to understand the commands and output format. Determine the minimal changes needed to extend rtk's proxy functionality to handle glab commands. Consider any configuration or routing patterns already present.
