Fix gt sling code review issues (gt-z9qoo)

- Fix hook location for remote targets using tmux.GetPaneWorkDir()
- Add --var/--on conflict error check
- Add warning for JSON parse fallback (not yet fatal)
- Capture stderr for wisp command
- Remove dead code: detectAgentIdentity(), detectAgentIdentityForHook(),
  detectCloneRootForHook()
- Extract resolveSelfTarget() helper to reduce role-switching duplication
