'defang cd refresh' without arguments is a silent no-op #2206

Description

Description

defang cd refresh succeeds (exit 0) and does nothing when it is called without a PROJECT/STACK argument.

cdCommand (src/cmd/cli/command/cd.go) loops over args. With zero args, the loop body never runs and errors.Join() of an empty slice returns nil. The command prints nothing and exits 0, so the caller believes a refresh happened.

Every other PROJECT/STACK subcommand under cd declares Args: cobra.MinimumNArgs(1):

  • cd destroy — has it
  • cd down — has it
  • cd cancel — has it
  • cd outputs — has it
  • cd refreshmissing

The fix is one line: add Args: cobra.MinimumNArgs(1) to cdRefreshCmd. Alternatively, make the no-arg form load the project name from the local compose file and refresh the current stack, which matches what users probably expect. Either behavior is better than a silent success.

Steps to reproduce

defang cd refresh    # in any directory, with any provider configured
echo $?              # 0, nothing happened

Found while adding a manual-refresh workflow for s.defang.io (DefangLabs/s.defang.io PR 23, review comment r3771401029).
