feat: Add --args flag for natural language executor instructions (gt-1py3y)

Browse Source 
- Add Args field to SlungWork struct in wisp/types.go
- Add --args/-a flag to gt sling command
- Display args in gt prime autonomous mode
- Display args in gt mol status output

The --args string is stored in the hook and shown to the LLM executor,
which interprets the instructions naturally without schema maintenance.

Example: gt sling beads-release --args "patch release"

The --args string is stored in the hook and shown to the executor.
