Problem

CliFramework has confirm() for yes/no prompts but lacks:

input() - free-text input with default values
select() / choice() - pick from a list
table() - ASCII table rendering for structured output
spinner - indeterminate progress for long operations

Tools that need interactive input currently use raw fgets(STDIN) or readline().

Proposal

Add methods to CliFramework:

// Free text input
$name = $this->input('Repository name', 'default-value');

// Selection from list
$choice = $this->select('Platform', ['joomla', 'dolibarr', 'generic']);

// Table output
$this->table(['Name', 'Status', 'Version'], $rows);

// Spinner for long operations
$this->withSpinner('Deploying...', function() { ... });

Acceptance Criteria

input() method with default value support
select() method with numbered choices
table() method with column alignment
Graceful fallback in non-interactive (piped) mode
