Expand description

Resolves the default output format when the user gave no explicit format.

Precedence: env_override, then config_override (the [output].format key in config.toml), then a TTY policy — an interactive terminal gets human-friendly output, everything else (pipes, files, CI, most agents) gets machine-readable JSON. Pure so it can be unit-tested without a real terminal or config file.
