Adds a --json flag that outputs the full repo context as structured JSON
instead of the default markdown/text format.
JSON output includes:
- repo: repository name
- generated: timestamp
- path: absolute path
- git_info: branch, remote, status
- recent_commits: structured list with hash, message, author, date
- branches: list of branch names
- project_structure: hierarchical tree of files/directories
- file_contents: list of {path, language, content} when --files is used
The text output path is unchanged. This is purely additive.
