📈 Priority Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Critical Blockchain Commands (Week 1)

Commands: blockchain blocks, blockchain block, blockchain transaction

Implementation Pattern:

@blockchain.command()
@click.option("--limit", type=int, default=10, help="Number of blocks to show")
@click.option("--from-height", type=int, help="Start from this block height")
@click.option('--chain-id', help='Specific chain ID to query (default: ait-devnet)')
@click.option('--all-chains', is_flag=True, help='Query blocks across all available chains')
@click.pass_context
def blocks(ctx, limit: int, from_height: Optional[int], chain_id: str, all_chains: bool):

Phase 2: Important Commands (Week 2)

Commands: blockchain status, blockchain sync_status, blockchain info, client blocks

Focus: Maintain backward compatibility while adding multi-chain support

Phase 3: Utility Commands (Week 3)

Commands: blockchain peers, blockchain supply, blockchain validators

Focus: Complete multi-chain coverage across all blockchain operations

🧪 Testing Strategy

Standard Multi-Chain Test Suite

Each enhanced command requires:

1. Help Options Test - Verify new options are documented
2. Single Chain Test - Test specific chain selection
3. All Chains Test - Test comprehensive multi-chain query
4. Default Chain Test - Test default behavior (ait-devnet)
5. Error Handling Test - Test network errors and missing chains
