Research direction
Open the StackBlitz reproduction and inspect index.js, focusing on how the main command dispatches its first positional argument when that value matches a subCommand name. Reproduce the behavior and trace command selection; done means the positional argument no longer unexpectedly causes the subCommand to run alongside the main command.
