Function resolveInlineOrFileBytes

internal/cmd/input_spec.go:20–57

resolveInlineOrFileBytes supports agent-friendly inputs for flags that otherwise require shell-escaped JSON strings. Supported forms: - literal: '{"a":1}' - stdin: '-' - file: '@path/to/file.json' - stdin: '@-'

(spec string, input io.Reader)

//   - file:    '@path/to/file.json'
//   - stdin:   '@-'

		b, err := io.ReadAll(input)
