refactor+feat: stdin pipe, direct inbox, table output, batch ops

[crhan]

Summary

Commit 1: refactor — stdin pipe and direct inbox access

• Replace temp file execution with stdin pipe: executeJXA() uses spawn() to pipe scripts via stdin instead of writing/reading/deleting temp files. Simplifies code, removes 5 unused imports.
• Remove window dependency for inbox commands: listInboxTasks() and getInboxCount() use the inbox global object directly instead of getPerspectiveTasks('Inbox'). Inbox commands now work headlessly (no OmniFocus window needed).
• Note: Benchmarking shows the stdin vs temp file performance difference is negligible (~650ms per call is dominated by osascript startup + Apple Events IPC). This change is about code simplification and removing the window dependency, not performance.

Commit 2: feat — human-readable table output

• TTY (interactive terminal) → table output by default
• Pipe / redirect → JSON output (backward compatible)
• --json / -j flag forces JSON in terminal
• --compact / -c unchanged (minified JSON)
• Supported formats: task, project, tag, folder, perspective tables; key-value stats; plain text messages

Commit 3: feat — batch complete and delete

• of task complete id1 id2 id3 — mark multiple tasks completed in a single JXA call
• of task delete id1 id2 id3 — delete multiple tasks in a single JXA call
• Alias: of task done, of task rm
• Completing/deleting 10 tasks: ~650ms (one osascript call) instead of ~6.5s (ten calls)

What was investigated but not done

Custom perspective without window: Omni Automation does not expose perspective filter rules as a queryable API. The archivedFilterRules property is inaccessible, and fileWrapper is a serialization format, not a query interface. Custom perspectives still require an open window to retrieve tasks.

Test plan

• of inbox count / of inbox list work without an open window
• of task list, of project list, of tag list, of folder list display tables in TTY
• of perspective list, of tag stats, of task stats display formatted output
• of task list | jq outputs JSON (pipe detection works)
• of --json task list forces JSON in TTY
• of task complete "taskA" "taskB" batch-completes in one call
• of task delete "taskA" "taskB" batch-deletes in one call
• Single-task of task delete "taskA" still works
• bun run test — 15/15 passing
• bun run lint — 0 warnings, 0 errors

Thanks for digging into this. Two pieces of your first commit landed in main with you as co-author, so I'm closing this one:

• fix: pipe JXA to osascript over stdin so concurrent calls stay isolated #48 pipes scripts to osascript over stdin. That fixed a real bug: concurrent calls, like parallel MCP tool calls, wrote to the same omnifocus-<ms>.js temp file and ran each other's scripts. I kept execFile rather than a hand-rolled spawn, since appending raw Buffer chunks to a string corrupts multi-byte characters that straddle a chunk boundary.
• fix: read the inbox without switching the front window #49 reads the inbox with inbox.apply instead of switching the front window to the Inbox perspective. apply includes subtasks, which iterating inbox directly skips.

I'm passing on the rest:

• Tables by default would change the CLI's output contract. It's JSON-first for scripts and agents, and anything running under a TTY would start getting tables.
• completeTasks marks each task complete as it resolves it, so a bad third ID leaves the first two completed and reports only the error. Resolving every ID before changing anything would fix that if you want to revisit batch operations.
