Subject: feat(cli): add --open flag to model-name chat command
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

dispatch <model> --text "..." --open now starts a new conversation AND
signals the frontend to open the tab — no need for a separate
'dispatch send --open' step.
