Remove the reflection-based bind() helper and replace it with direct struct field assignment in each command handler. This eliminates a hidden coupling between struct field declaration order and CLI argument position, and fixes a latent runtime panic caused by calling SetString() on authorizer.Role, a named string type that reflection does not treat as a plain string. Also validates the role argument early in memberAdd, returning a clear error message instead of silently passing RoleInvalid downstream, and fixes cobra.RangeArgs(2, 4) to cobra.RangeArgs(2, 3) in namespaceCreate since --type is a flag, not a positional argument.

Removed the reflection-based
bind()helper fromcmd/and replacedit with direct struct field assignment in each command handler. Also
validates the role argument early in
memberAddand fixes an incorrectRangeArgsbound innamespaceCreate.Why
bind()used reflection to map positional CLI arguments onto inputstructs by field index order. This introduced three problems:
A hidden coupling between struct field declaration order and CLI
argument position, with no compile-time enforcement. If anyone reorders
fields in an
inputs.*struct in the future, arguments will besilently mapped to the wrong fields - no compile error, no runtime
error, just wrong behavior.
A latent runtime panic:
reflect.Value.SetStringrequires the fieldkind to be exactly
string, butauthorizer.Roleis a named type.Any call to
cli namespace member addwould have panicked.Poor readability - tracing what
args[0]maps to required followingreflection logic and struct declarations simultaneously.
bind()isthe kind of solution that looks clever but becomes a liability. Go
favors explicit over clever - a few extra lines of direct assignment
are immediately readable, compiler-checked, and carry no hidden
contracts or runtime risks.
Explicit assignment makes the mapping immediately obvious, is checked
by the compiler, and eliminates the panic entirely.
The role validation fix (
RoleInvalidcheck inmemberAdd) wasdiscovered during this refactor and is included here since it directly
replaces the broken
bind()behavior for that command. Similarly,cobra.RangeArgs(2, 4)innamespaceCreatewas corrected tocobra.RangeArgs(2, 3)since--typeis a flag, not a positionalargument.
