This ticket is completed/superseded by insomnia-crate-cli-owner.

The original goal was to remove CLI parsing from crates/tui/src/main.rs so the TUI crate would stop owning top-level product CLI parsing. The later insomnia-crate-cli-owner implementation went further:

• the product binary moved from package tui to package insomnia;
• top-level CLI parsing and dispatch now live in crates/insomnia/src/main.rs;
• tui is now a library implementation crate with no product main.rs;
• insomnia pod ... and insomnia memory lint ... are routed by the insomnia crate;
• normal TUI launch is delegated to tui::launch(...).

Because the TUI crate no longer owns the product entrypoint or CLI parser, there is no remaining tui/src/main.rs CLI parsing extraction to implement under this ticket. Further CLI parser cleanup, if desired, belongs to the insomnia crate, not this TUI cleanup ticket.

Validation evidence from insomnia-crate-cli-owner closure:

• cargo test -p insomnia
• CLI smoke for --help, pod --help, memory lint --help, invalid --session, and resume/Pod selection conflicts
• cargo check -p client -p pod -p tui -p insomnia
• nix build .#insomnia
• ./tickets.sh doctor
• git diff --check
