`--json` / `--format json` always indented its streamed result. Agents and
scripts read REA through pipes and redirects, where indentation carries no
information: on real application results it added 16-45% model tokens
(o200k proxy) and 25-73% bytes. The skill's CLI fallback uses `--json`.
Indent only when stdout is a TTY, as `gh --json` does; piped or redirected
JSON is compact. The JSON value, `jsonl`, `--filter-output`,
`--full-output` and the token-window paths are unchanged. `jq .` restores
indentation for files.

Route ordinary CLI results through the bounded JSON writer after command registration, including managed member inspection. Remove JavaScript-specific output plumbing while preserving filters, envelopes, cancellation, and failure exits.
Measure formatted UTF-16 expansion before Incur token counting and return resource_constraint above the runtime string limit, with recovery guidance.
Validate output above the real V8 string limit by SHA-256 and exercise the compiled managed provider. Clean-worktree validation: npm run check; 76 focused tests passed, with 2 optional-provider skips; test discovery passed.
Fixes#1371.
