Description
bug
What is the current behavior?
Setting aliases in a command's index file does not propagate to sub-commands.
in ./commands/identity:
export default class Identity extends BaseCommand {
static override aliases = ['id'];
in the same directory: ./commands/identity/create does not inherit the id alias
export default class Create extends BaseCommand {
Therefore cli id works but cli id create does not.
What is the expected behavior?
It would be convenient to set aliases at the root level.

Research direction
Start by comparing alias handling for ./commands/identity and its ./commands/identity/create sub-command, then trace the CLI command-resolution entry point that makes cli id work. The change is complete when the root id alias also resolves cli id create, with tests covering both command forms.
