feat: improve CLI UX with smart defaults and auto-output generation

- Add default yrow=8 when no mode specified
- Make --output optional, auto-generate to results/ folder
- Add 4-char UUID and threshold to auto-generated filenames
- Auto-append .jpg extension when no extension provided
- Rotate row mode output 90° clockwise for proper orientation
- Move debug mode outputs to results/ folder
- Add uuid module for unique filename generation

Example outputs:
- results/video_a3f2_t0_01.jpg (auto-generated)
- results/video_7c91_t0_05_changes.png (debug mode)
