[plan] Fix unformatted stderr output in add/interactive CLI files #21178

Objective

Replace raw fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, ...) calls with console.Format* wrappers across interactive and add-workflow CLI files identified in the Terminal Stylist audit (discussion #21126).

Context

The audit found ~54 files with unformatted stderr output. This issue covers interactive workflow and add command files.

Files to Modify

All files are in pkg/cli/:

• add_command.go
• add_interactive_auth.go
• add_interactive_engine.go
• add_interactive_git.go
• add_interactive_orchestrator.go
• add_interactive_schedule.go
• add_interactive_secrets.go
• add_interactive_workflow.go
• interactive.go
• run_interactive.go
• run_push.go
• run_workflow_execution.go

Approach

For each file:

1. Find all fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, ...) and fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, ...) calls NOT already using console formatters
2. Choose the correct formatter based on message semantics:
   • Info/neutral → console.FormatInfoMessage
   • Success/completion → console.FormatSuccessMessage
   • Warning → console.FormatWarningMessage
   • Error → console.FormatErrorMessage
   • Command display → console.FormatCommandMessage
   • Prompt messages → console.FormatPromptMessage
   • List items → console.FormatListItem
3. Convert fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "...\n", args...) → fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, console.FormatXxxMessage(fmt.Sprintf("...", args...)))

Note

Do NOT change:

• Calls that already wrap a console.Format* function
• Calls that output structured data (JSON, tables) to stdout
• Interactive Huh form setup code (these use their own styling)

Acceptance Criteria

• All raw fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, ...) diagnostic messages in the listed files replaced with console formatters
• make fmt passes with no changes
• make test-unit passes
