Description

Compared to vanilla ls, rtk ls misses files if some arguments do not resolve to a file.

$ rtk ls -ld ~/.opencode/opencode-dcg-plugin ~/.config/opencode/opencode-dcg-plugin ~/.opencode/plugins/opencode-dcg-plugin ~/.config/opencode/plugins/opencode-dcg-plugin

Research direction
The bug is in the 'rtk ls' command: it fails to list files when some arguments are invalid, unlike vanilla 'ls' which lists valid files and reports errors for invalid ones. Start by finding the implementation of the 'ls' subcommand, likely in src/commands/ls.rs or similar. Examine how file arguments are processed—probably using a loop that stops on first error. The fix should iterate over all arguments, collecting results and errors, and output both. Check if there is a utility function for listing files that needs modification. Consider adding tests for mixed valid/invalid paths.
