Subject: [PATCH] Update Claude agent to use proper headless mode

- Replace --dangerously-skip-permissions with official headless mode flags
- Use -p (--print) for non-interactive mode
- Add --output-format json for structured responses
- Use --permission-mode acceptEdits for automation
- Parse JSON response and extract metadata (cost, duration, session_id)
- Handle both successful and error responses properly
- Reference: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/sdk/sdk-headless
