Description

Native modules run any binary and provide CLI args to them

This seems mega related to docker modules that communicate via ENV vars

Probably Native module system should host Docker modules? just need to switch it to use ENV vars?

Unified serious config system would help here https://github.com/dimensionalOS/dimos/issues/1082 (since it can translate py config objects (pydantic, dataclass) into ENV vars naturally) but it's ok to do the Module unification first

Research direction

Start by reading docs/usage/native_modules.md and compare the native and Docker module approaches described in the issue. Review issue #1082 for the proposed configuration translation; done should be a unified module approach that preserves native CLI-argument and Docker ENV-var behavior.
