Conversation
Adds a small companion to /editor. Where /editor composes a scratch prompt, /open opens the file you point at: /open src/main.rs edit an existing file /open notes/new.md --create make an empty file, then edit Reuses the same resolver as /editor (\$VISUAL, then \$EDITOR, then falls back to vim/vi/nano). Errors clearly when the path is a dir, the file is missing, or no editor is configured.

Summary
Adds `/open ` to edit an existing file from the REPL. Complements `/editor`, which is for composing a new scratch prompt.
Uses the same editor resolver as `/editor`: `$VISUAL` → `$EDITOR` → fallback to `vim`, `vi`, or `nano` if found on PATH.
Why
Users already have `/files` to list session files and `/editor` to compose prompts, but no quick way to open a file the agent just mentioned. Adding a first-class `/open` closes that gap.
