CLI: focus the PIN field in the macOS security key dialog - #20

Conversation
When the CLI runs in the background (e.g. from an agent), osascript isn't the frontmost app, so the dialog appeared without keyboard focus and the PIN field had to be clicked before typing. The script now runs `activate` first, which brings the dialog to the front with the field focused. No extra macOS permissions are needed.

When the CLI runs without a terminal (for example from an agent), the macOS PIN dialog opened without keyboard focus, so you had to click the field before typing. The AppleScript now calls
activatebeforedisplay dialog, so osascript comes to the front with the PIN field focused. This needs no extra macOS permissions (unlike the System Events approach).A unit test asserts the script activates before showing the dialog. I built this branch and installed it to
/usr/local/bin/rack-gateway; the previous binary is kept as/usr/local/bin/rack-gateway.bak-20261009.Summary by CodeRabbit
