feat(sdk): add --respect-staged opt-in to gsd-sdk query commit --files (#3522)

Closes #3522. When --respect-staged is passed the git add loop is skipped
entirely so per-hunk staging from git add -p is preserved. Default behavior
(full re-stage) is unchanged. The #3061 pathspec invariant holds under both
modes. Nothing-staged within scope returns { committed: false, reason:
'nothing staged' } without error.

**`gsd-sdk query commit --files` gains `--respect-staged` opt-in** — pass `--respect-staged` to skip the automatic `git add` step and commit only what is already staged within the requested pathspec. Callers using `git add -p` to stage individual hunks no longer have their partial staging silently overwritten. Without the flag, default behavior is unchanged (#3061 invariant preserved under both modes).

> `--no-verify`: Skips pre-commit hooks. Used by parallel executor agents during wave-based execution to avoid build lock contention (e.g., cargo lock fights in Rust projects). The orchestrator runs hooks once after each wave completes. Do not use `--no-verify` during sequential execution — let hooks run normally.
> `--files <paths>` **staging behaviour**: by default, `--files` runs `git add -- <path>` for each named file before committing. This overwrites any per-hunk staging set up via `git add -p`. Pass `--respect-staged` to skip the `git add` step and commit only what is already in the index within the requested pathspec. If nothing is staged within that scope, the command returns `{ committed: false, reason: 'nothing staged' }` without error. The trailing `-- <paths>` pathspec on the commit is applied under both modes, so files staged outside the `--files` scope are never included (#3061 invariant).
