feat(cli): TUI components, Frame AppShell, command builders (#11-15)

Issues #11-13: WithAppName for variant binaries, NewPassthrough builder
for flag.FlagSet commands, RegisterCommands test coverage with resetGlobals
helper. Fix pre-existing daemon_test.go break.

Issue #14: Rich Table with box-drawing borders (Normal, Rounded, Heavy,
Double), per-column CellStyleFn, WithMaxWidth responsive truncation.
Tree renderer with box-drawing connectors and styled nodes. Parallel
TaskTracker with braille spinners, thread-safe concurrent updates, and
non-TTY fallback. Streaming text renderer with word-wrap and channel
pattern support.

Issue #15: Frame live compositional AppShell using HLCRF regions with
Model interface, Navigate/Back content swapping, alt-screen live mode,
graceful non-TTY fallback. Built-in region components: StatusLine,
KeyHints, Breadcrumb. Zero new dependencies — pure ANSI + x/term.

68 tests, all passing with -race.
