ux: inconsistent amount flag naming across commands

[owenwahlgren]

Description

Different command groups use different flag names for AVAX amounts:

• Transfer commands: --amount / --amount-navax
• Validator commands: --stake
• L1 commands: --balance

Impact

Users must remember different flag names for the same concept (an AVAX amount) depending on the command.

Suggestion

Consider adding precision alternatives consistently:

• --stake-navax for validator commands
• --balance-navax for L1 commands

Or document the rationale for semantic naming in help text.

Files affected

• cmd/transfer.go - uses --amount / --amount-navax
• cmd/validator.go - uses --stake
• cmd/l1.go - uses --balance

Severity

Medium UX impact
