Subject: [PATCH 1/2] test(python): ask the pty REPL cases for JSON, as the
 rust ones already do

Five cases in `repl_interactive_test.py` assert `[{"n":41}]` and have been
red since `060576f` taught the CLI to lay rows out as a table when stdout is
a terminal. The tests landed 55 minutes earlier and were never revisited.

The table is the intended output, not a regression: `docs/reference/cli.md`
documents `auto` as "table if stdout is a terminal, JSON otherwise", and
`060576f` moved the rust pty cases onto `--format json` for exactly this
reason -- on a terminal they would otherwise be rendering tests as well as
editor tests. It added a separate case for the default it gave up. The
python suite was simply missed in that pass.

So the fix is the same one: the fixture opens the REPL with `--format json`.
These cases are about the up arrow, the history file, `Ctrl+C`, and the
continuation prompt; none of them has an opinion about layout, and the table
default stays covered by `packages/rust/tests/repl_tty_e2e.rs`.

This unblocks `just e2e-attest-python`, which runs the whole suite and needs
exit 0 to write a receipt.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] test(python): say why the pty REPL cases pin JSON

`--format json` on a history test reads as cruft, and deleting it puts the
five cases straight back on the table layout they have no opinion about.
