Story 11.3: Output Formats
As a developer, I want to control the output format of CalcPad results, So that I can integrate results into different toolchains and data pipelines.
Acceptance Criteria:
Given the user runs calcpad without a --format flag
When the expression is evaluated
Then the output is in plain text format (default), showing only the result value and unit
Given the user runs calcpad --format json "5kg in lbs"
When the expression is evaluated
Then the output is valid JSON containing at minimum: value, unit, and type fields
And example output resembles {"value": 11.023, "unit": "lbs", "type": "mass"}
Given the user runs calcpad --format csv with multi-line stdin
When the input is evaluated
Then the output is CSV formatted with columns for line number, expression, value, and unit
And the output can be directly imported into spreadsheet software
Given the user specifies an unrecognized --format value
When the command is executed
Then an error message lists the valid format options (plain, json, csv)
And the process exits with code 1
