feat(run): 选择性字段注入、dry-run 预览、默认 JSON 输出

- run 新增 -s/--secret 字段过滤，只注入指定字段到子进程（最小权限）
- run 新增 --dry-run 模式，输出变量名与来源映射，不执行命令、不暴露值
- run 新增 -o 参数，dry-run 默认 JSON 输出
- 默认输出格式改为始终 json，移除 TTY 自动切换逻辑，-o text 供人类使用
- build_injected_env_map 签名从 &[SecretField] 改为 &[&SecretField]
- 更新 AGENTS.md、README.md、.vscode/tasks.json
- version: 0.9.5 → 0.9.6
