Output Format
Use --format markdown for all CLI commands to get pre-formatted output ready for display.
This reduces token usage by eliminating the need to parse JSON and format it manually.
bun run src/cli.ts movies --format markdown
JSON output (default) is still available for machine parsing if needed.
