Description
When altering the type of a link property as shown in the schema at the bottom:
```
did you alter the type of property 'date' of link 'habit_completed'? [y,n,l,c,b,s,q,?]
> y
Please specify a conversion expression to alter the type of property 'date':
cast_expr> .date
```
Suggestion is to cast a property `.date` which does not exist on the type. The suggestion should be `@date` instead.

### Steps to Reproduce
1. Create a schema with a link property
2. Migrate
3. Change the type of the link property
4. Migrate again
### Schema
Start:
```
module default {
type Habit {
required name: str;
}
type User {
name: str;
multi habit_completed: Habit {
date: datetime;
# Ensures a User can complete a given Habit
# only once per day.
constraint exclusive on ((@target, @date));
}
}
}
```
End:
```
module default {
type Habit {
required name: str;
}
type User {
name: str;
multi habit_completed: Habit {
date: cal::local_date;
# Ensures a User can complete a given Habit
# only once per day.
constraint exclusive on ((@target, @date));
}
}
}
```

Research direction
Reproduce the migration prompt with the provided Start and End schemas, then trace the CLI code that generates cast-expression suggestions for link properties. Confirm the completed behavior by checking that the suggested expression uses @date rather than .date.
