feat(cli): add --live and --focus flags for automation window lifecycle#1122
Conversation
--live (OPENCLI_LIVE=1) keeps the automation window open after an adapter command finishes, so agents or humans can inspect the page state. Default behavior (immediate closeWindow) is unchanged. --focus (OPENCLI_WINDOW_FOCUSED=1) surfaces the existing env-var toggle as a CLI flag so users don't need to shell-export to see the window in foreground. Both flags are parsed early in main.ts and stripped from argv, so they can be placed anywhere on the command line and work on any subcommand (adapter or browser).

Summary
--live/OPENCLI_LIVE=1keeps the automation window open after an adapter command finishes (default: close immediately as before)--focus/OPENCLI_WINDOW_FOCUSED=1already existed as env var; now also a CLI flag so users don't have to shell-exportWhy
@WAWQAQ asked for a way to stop commands from auto-closing, so the page stays visible for inspection or follow-up commands.
--focuswas also brought up and turned out to already exist as an env var — exposing it as a flag makes it actually discoverable.Test plan
