--agent flag with auto-detection for AI coding agents#4960Conversation
Introduces a global --agent flag (auto/yes/no) that detects whether the CLI is being invoked by an AI coding agent based on environment variables. When agent mode is active, db query defaults to JSON output with a security envelope (untrusted data boundary). When in human mode, it defaults to table output without the envelope. Explicit --output always takes precedence. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
