feat: expose Pi alternate-screen mode through interactive launch path #808

Description

@quick-ricon

Problem

Pi supports --alt for its alternate-screen TUI with application-owned scrolling, but the normal Shimmer/Sessions interactive launch path does not expose that option. Using it currently requires a custom launcher.

A Quick dogfood run confirmed that mouse-wheel scrolling, Shift+PageUp / Shift+PageDown, and Ctrl+Home / Ctrl+End work as intended.

Desired outcome

Expose an explicit opt-in through the normal Shimmer launch path and forward it through Sessions to Pi, without changing the default mode.

The implementation should not couple this flag passthrough to a Pi version adoption or unrelated release work.
