CLI Machines Files Mv

`ed machines files mv`

Moves one or more paths into a directory on the machine. This is the window's cut and paste.

ed machines files mv <machine> <path>... <directory> [--dry-run] [--replace] [--yes] [--json]

Name	Type / values	Default	What it does
`machine`	machine name, SSH alias, id or unambiguous prefix	required	Which machine.
`path...`	one or more remote paths, then the destination directory last	at least two values required	What to move, and where to.
`--dry-run`	flag	off	Print the exact resolved destinations without moving.
`--replace`	flag	off	Target an existing matching name instead of making a numbered move.
`--yes`	flag	off	Confirm replacements requested with `--replace`.
`--json`	flag	off	Emit JSON on stdout.

The collision policy is identical to cp: matching names get a numbered target by default, --dry-run prints the plan, and --replace needs --yes before it can remove anything. A confirmed replacement first copies the source to a unique staging area beside the target, renames the old target to a rollback name, and then publishes the staged source. The original source is removed only after publication succeeds. A failed publication restores the old target and keeps the source. A batch stops at the first failed item.

Fewer than two values exits 1, a non-zero exit on the machine exits 1 with the machine's message, and the command is capped at 300 seconds.

A move made here is not on any window's undo stack. Reverse it with another mv, not with ed machines files undo.
