## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Add the `-s`/`--stream` option end-to-end in SubMiner CLI and configuration handling, including defaults, help text, parsing/validation, and explicit routing so streaming mode is only enabled when requested.
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- [ ] #1 Introduce `-s` short option and `--stream` long option in CLI parsing without breaking existing flags.
- [ ] #2 When set, the resulting config state reflects streaming mode enabled and is propagated to playback/session startup.
- [ ] #3 When unset, behavior remains identical to current non-streaming flows.
<!-- AC:END -->

## Implementation Notes

<!-- SECTION:NOTES:BEGIN -->
Superseded by TASK-51. CLI stream mode work deferred until streaming architecture is revisited.
