Both docker and smolmachines backends use bottle state helpers.
Moving to bot_bottle/ makes the sharing explicit and removes the
cross-backend dependency (smolmachines importing from ..docker).
All callers updated: docker backend, smolmachines backend, cli
modules, and tests.
Chunk 1 (schema + storage): BottleSpec, ActiveAgent, and BottleMetadata
gain label and color fields. Both docker and smolmachines backends
persist them to metadata.json on prepare and surface them in
enumerate_active_agents(). AgentProvider.provision_plan() passes
label/color through to the Claude provider, which injects them into
claude.json so claude-code displays the session name and color in its
header. Codex provider accepts and ignores the knobs.
Chunk 2 (curses modal + display): cmd_start presents a two-step curses
modal — first edit the label (first keystroke replaces the pre-fill),
then optionally pick a color. cli list active renders label with ANSI
escape codes when the terminal supports it, falling back to agent_name
when no label is set.

- Add bot_bottle/cli/tui.py: curses filter-select picker that opens
/dev/tty directly so it works with redirected stdout/stdin
- Make `name` positional optional (nargs="?") in cmd_start; show agent
picker when absent
- Show backend picker when no --backend flag and BOT_BOTTLE_BACKEND is
unset; skip when either is explicit or the env var is present
- Add tests/unit/test_cli_tui.py covering _filter_items logic and
short-circuit paths (empty list, unavailable tty)
- Add tests/unit/test_cli_start_selector.py covering all four dispatch
combinations (both explicit, agent-absent, backend-absent, both-absent)
and cancel semantics
- Activate PRD 0051
