Add a new `--open` / `-o` CLI flag that automatically opens the Spotlight web dashboard in the user's default browser when starting the sidecar server. Implementation: - Add `openInBrowser` utility using platform-specific commands (macOS: open, Windows: cmd /c start, Linux: xdg-open) - Add `--open` / `-o` boolean flag to CLI argument parsing - Update help text with new flag documentation - Implement browser opening in both `server` and `run` commands - Add E2E tests for the new flag Closes #1192
