[Feature] Dual Mode: CLI + GUI with full optimization control via flags

[totalbrain]

---

name: Feature Request
labels: enhancement, good first issue, cli

Describe the feature

Add full dual-mode support (CLI + GUI):

�ash python main.py # GUI (default) python main.py --gui # Force GUI python main.py --terminal --file input.py python main.py --cli --dir ./project/ --single-line --shorten-keywords

All current optimization options must be controllable via CLI flags.

Why is this useful?

• Automation & scripting
• Batch processing
• CI/CD integration
• VS Code tasks / Git hooks
• Headless servers & Docker
• Much faster for power users
