[FEATURE] Add session list --json flag for machine-readable output

[ranveerd11]

Feature Request

Add --json flag to session list command for machine-readable output, consistent with session search --json.

Current Behavior

ainative-code session list --json
# Error: unknown flag: --json

Expected Behavior

ainative-code session list --json
# [{"id": "abc123", "title": "My Session", "status": "active", ...}]

Use Cases

1. Scripting and automation
2. Piping to jq for filtering
3. Integration with other tools
4. Consistent with session search --json

Suggested Implementation

Add --json or -j flag that outputs JSON array of sessions.

Environment

• Version: v0.1.8
• Platform: darwin/arm64

✅ Implemented in v0.1.10

The --json flag has been successfully added to the session list command.

Usage

# Output sessions as JSON
ainative-code session list --json

# Pipe to jq for filtering
ainative-code session list --json | jq '.[0].id'

# Get all sessions
ainative-code session list --all --json

# Limit output with custom limit
ainative-code session list --limit 5 --json

Features

• ✅ Valid JSON array output
• ✅ Compatible with jq and other JSON parsers
• ✅ Consistent with session search --json behavior
• ✅ Comprehensive test coverage (integration tests)
• ✅ Empty sessions output as []
• ✅ All session fields included (id, name, created_at, updated_at, status, settings, model)
