Description
Implement a tail -f style command that follows a chain in real time:
dot tail <chain>(e.g.dot tail Paseo) — subscribe to new blocks and stream them to the terminal
Should display a live feed of new blocks as they are produced/finalized, similar to tailing a log file. Consider what info to show per block (number, hash, extrinsics count, events summary, etc.).

Research direction
Start by locating the existing CLI entry point for commands such as dot tail <chain>, then inspect how the project connects to a selected chain. Define the block fields and live-feed behavior before implementation, and verify that new blocks are streamed for the requested chain as they are produced or finalized.
