Inspired by Claude Code's claude -p and pipe support (tail app.log | claude -p "any anomalies?").

What: Add -p/--prompt <text> flag for one-shot mode (no REPL); print broker reply and exit. Detect non-tty stdin and feed it as additional context (typically prepended to the user prompt as a fenced block).

Why: Composability. Lets aish be one stage in a Unix pipeline rather than only an interactive shell. Big ergonomics for ad-hoc analysis ("explain this stack trace"), CI use, and scripting.

Where it lands: Phase 1. Touches main.lua (arg parsing, mode branch). No repl.lua involvement in -p mode.
