Hakan Seven 7f10b69e3c feat(automation): headless JSON server (--serve) + Python client
Add an external automation API (issue #29 / #100 track 2): `OpenCADStudio
--serve` runs without a GUI and is driven over a line-based JSON protocol
on stdin/stdout — open / new / run / entities / save. State persists
across requests so a script or AI agent can act, observe, and act again.

`run` drives the app's existing command system rather than a separate
binding, so coverage grows with the app; synchronous commands apply now,
pick-based interactive ones come once coordinate feeding is wired. Ships
a ~100-line example ocs.py client over the same protocol — no FFI to
maintain. Headless works because the app already constructs and dispatches
GUI-less in tests.

"""Thin Python client for the Open CAD Studio headless automation server.
Launches `OpenCADStudio --serve` and talks to it over a line-based JSON protocol
(one request object per line on stdin, one response per line on stdout). There
is nothing to compile or maintain on the Python side — every method is one JSON
message; the real work is Open CAD Studio's own command system.
from ocs import Ocs
with Ocs(binary="OpenCADStudio") as ocs:
ocs.open("plan.dwg")
ocs.run("LAYER Walls")
print(ocs.entities()) # {"total": 42, "by_type": {...}}
ocs.save("plan_out.dwg")
Each call returns the parsed response dict and raises `OcsError` on `ok: false`.
