fix(requestflag): preserve CLI precedence for inner flags

[sylvesterkaczmarek]

Summary

Track whether an InnerFlag has been explicitly set so piped stdin data cannot overwrite a value the user already supplied on the command line.

Problem

ApplyStdinDataToFlags intentionally skips flags whose IsSet() method reports true, preserving CLI-over-stdin precedence for ordinary request flags. InnerFlag.IsSet(), however, currently always returns false.

That means a command-line value such as --address.city cli-value can be applied successfully to its outer flag and then be overwritten later by piped data containing address.city: piped-value.

Fix

• record successful InnerFlag.Set calls with per-flag state;
• return that state from InnerFlag.IsSet();
• leave unset inner flags eligible to be populated from piped data as before.

The state is tracked per inner flag rather than inferred from the outer flag, so setting one nested field does not incorrectly suppress stdin values for sibling fields.

Regression coverage

Added a focused regression that:

1. sets an inner field explicitly through the CLI flag path;
2. supplies a conflicting value through piped nested data;
3. verifies the explicit CLI value remains in the outer request object.

The test also asserts the inner flag now reports itself as set after a successful explicit assignment.

Validation

The branch is based directly on current upstream main (ee92673a416c0851a5fe8907a2453db7bd450633) and contains one signed commit touching only the inner-flag implementation and its focused regression test. Full Go test execution is left to repository CI.

Risk

Low. Only successfully assigned inner flags change IsSet() from false to true; unset inner flags and ordinary request flags retain their existing behavior.

Keep set state scoped to the current array element

When a repeatable array-of-objects flag creates a second element, an inner flag used on the first element remains globally set. For example, after setting context-management.compact-threshold on the first entry and starting a second entry with another context-management.type, piped context_management.compact_threshold is now skipped because applyStdinDataToFlags checks IsSet() before innerFieldIsSet() can see that the trailing element lacks the field. This regresses the existing per-trailing-element merge behavior; track explicit state per element or retain the innerFieldIsSet decision for array-backed inner flags.

Fixed in 65a9973. Inner flags now check per-element outer state before the generic IsSet() gate, so stdin can fill an unset field on a later array element without overriding an explicitly set field on that element. Added a two-element regression; focused requestflag tests pass.
