Feature/14361 enable parameters for cli

[CodeRishiX]

Closes #14361

This draft PR starts adding CLI support for citation key customization. Work in progress. I will continue adding the remaining options step-by-step.

Currently, I added the first option: --pattern: override default citation key pattern (e.g., [auth][year]). Not fully optimized yet. More CLI options from CitationKeyPatternPreferences will be added next.

Steps to test

:jabkit:run --args="citationkeys generate --input=C:\git-repositories\jabref\jablib\src\main\resources\Chocolate.bib --pattern='[auth][year]'"

No GUI settings are modified — this only affects the current CLI run

@koppor @calixtus Fixed all review comments as suggested - removed CitationKeyCommands description, deleted test.bib, and resolved README changes.

@calixtus @koppor Hi! I’ve implemented all parameters of CitationKeyPatternPreferences in the CLI except the per-entry-type patterns.

CitationKeyPatternPreferences supports type-specific patterns , but JabKit’s GlobalCitationKeyPatterns currently applies only a single default pattern and does not support per-entry-type overrides.

public class GlobalCitationKeyPatterns extends AbstractCitationKeyPatterns {

public GlobalCitationKeyPatterns(CitationKeyPattern defaultPattern) {
    this.defaultPattern = defaultPattern;
}

public static GlobalCitationKeyPatterns fromPattern(String pattern) {
    return new GlobalCitationKeyPatterns(new CitationKeyPattern(pattern));
}

@Override
public CitationKeyPattern getLastLevelCitationKeyPattern(EntryType entryType) {
    return defaultPattern;
}

Because of this mismatch, I’ve kept keyPatterns unchanged for now until your guidance.

Thanks!

I wonder why there is not any banner displayed?

Hi @calixtus I’m not fully sure what you mean by the missing banner here. Do you expect the standard JabKit startup banner to be shown for citationkeys generate, or some explicit output indicating that the command is running/completed? Just want to confirm before implementing. Thanks!
