Updates the ProGuard configuration to explicitly keep reflection annotations, Kotlin companion objects, Picocli subcommands/help mixins, and IPC data classes that were being aggressively stripped by R8.
R8 minification was aggressively stripping Picocli annotations (@command, @option) and renaming command classes, causing reflection to fail at runtime. We add targeted ProGuard rules to ensure CLI stability: - Preserved attributes required for reflection and annotations. - Protected any class or member annotated with Picocli markers. - Kept internal Picocli classes required for standard help mixins. - Retained Gson IPC data models (CliRequest/Response) to prevent socket serialization failures in release builds.
