Add `fmt: OutputFormat` parameter to `main_callback()` in
`src/cleveragents/cli/main.py` and store the selected format in
`ctx.obj["format"]` so all subcommands can read it without needing
their own per-command `--format` flag.

Remove per-command `--format` / `fmt` parameters from `version()`,
`info()`, and `diagnostics()` commands. These commands now read the
format from `ctx.obj.get("format", OutputFormat.RICH.value)`.

The specification states: "The framework supports six distinct output
formats, selectable via the global `--format` flag." This change
aligns the implementation with the spec by making `--format` a global
option on the root `agents` command (via the Typer callback).

All six formats (json, yaml, plain, rich, table, color) are supported
via the global flag and the `-f` shorthand.

Add Behave BDD scenarios covering global `--format` flag propagation
to subcommands for all six formats. Update Robot Framework integration
tests to exercise the global `--format` flag. Update existing tests
that used per-command `--format` for version/info/diagnostics to use
the global flag instead.

UAT Confirmation — Duplicate Report Suppressed

This issue was independently re-discovered during UAT testing and reported as a new bug. Since this ticket already exists and tracks the same defect, no duplicate issue was created. This comment records the UAT evidence for completeness.

UAT Evidence

Spec references confirming global flag requirement:

docs/specification.md lines 208, 384, 3095, 10109, 25763, 26695
Line 384: "Set the output rendering format for all subcommands."
Line 10109: "None (use the global --format option to control output format)" — for agents resource type list

Reproduction steps:

agents --format json project list → fails with No such option: --format
agents project list --format json → works (local flag only)

Spec-documented usage patterns that are currently broken:

$ agents --format table project list
$ agents --format table session list
$ agents --format json plan list --phase execute
$ agents --format plain project show local/api-service

Root cause confirmed:

main_callback in cli/main.py only accepts --version and --show-secrets
Every subcommand (project.py, resource.py, etc.) has its own output_format parameter via typer.Option("--format", "-f", ...)
No global context/state propagation exists for the format flag

Suggested fix approach:
Add --format as a global option in main_callback, store it in Typer's context object or a module-level state variable, and have subcommands fall back to that global value when their local --format is not explicitly set. Local --format flags can remain as overrides for backward compatibility.
