across ls, download, metadata, and file-metadata commands.
- Implement GET v3/doi/{id}/ API model and client calls
- Parse and resolve DOI paths into respective folder and files
- Extract common folder and file resolution logic to shared helpers
- Update README with example DOI-based shell commands
