Description

A common use case I find myself doing is to change a consumer groups offset by a numeric amount, typically --shift-by 1 and I'd like Kowl to add support.

For example, say we see a corrupt message on a topic & need to bump a consumer past it, we would issue the following...

/opt/kafka/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --group {group} --reset-offsets --shift-by 1 --topic {topic}:{partition} --execute

Research direction

Start with the consumer-group management UI and compare its existing offset controls with the issue's kafka-consumer-groups.sh example. Define the shift-by flow for a selected group, topic, and partition, and verify that it performs the equivalent offset reset; the issue names no files or tests.
