Reparent a collection under a new parent UID

## Usage

```bash
ktm collections move <uid> [flags]
```

## Examples

```bash
ktm collections move --operator my-op <uid> --new-parent <new_parent_uid>
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Required |
| --- | --- |
| `uid` | Yes |

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--new-parent` | string |  | Target parent collection UID (required) |
| `--operator` | string |  | Operator slug (required) |

## Details

Move the collection (and its entire sub-tree) under a new parent.
Cycles are rejected server-side. Use 'ktm collections move-items' instead when
you want to relocate a test or dashboard rather than a whole collection.
