Linting with clj-kondo 2026.07.24 yields spurious "Condition always true" warnings (:constant-condition)

The transformations that are provided for defcommand ends up making the symbols that receive options and arguments appear to always be truthy.

As clj-kondo gets smarter, the code expansions we supply are getting flagged more often as invalid.

src/ladder/cli/commands/k8s.clj:36:38: error: Expected: char sequence, received: vector.
src/ladder/cli/commands/k8s.clj:45:35: error: Expected: char sequence or nil, received: vector.
src/ladder/cli/commands/k8s/pods.clj:143:79: error: Expected: char sequence, received: vector.

Here, symbols that receieve options look like vectors to clj-kondo, and it identifies that they can't be passed to functions like clojure.string/contains?
