The --format option exposed formats that produced unusable output: ansi dumped raw cell-by-cell positioning, html returned a 35K-line debugging inspector, and svg generated a 1.4MB cell grid. Only text produces practical output for scripting. Remove --format entirely and hardcode text format in the CLI, MCP server, and agent help text. Fixes #59
