Description
Enhance CLI experience with:
- --dry-run flag (preview changes without modifying file)
- --output-format option (JSON, CSV, table for all commands)
- --watch mode (continuous file monitoring)
- shell completion scripts (bash, zsh, PowerShell via System.CommandLine)
Business value: safer operations, scriptability, developer productivity.
Complexity: Medium. Note: depends on CLI interface (#94) shipping first.

Research direction
Start with the CLI interface work in issue #94, since this enhancement depends on it shipping first. Break the scope into dry-run, output formats, watch mode, and shell completions, then confirm how each fits the CLI. Done means all four capabilities are supported without modifying files during dry runs, with JSON, CSV, table, and the listed shell completions available.
