fix(drone): --json pass-through uses sys.stdout.write, no Rich mid-string wrap (td-49)

--json was routed through Rich console.print(), which defaults to width 80 on
a non-TTY and hard-wraps mid-string, producing invalid JSON (e.g. 'Security
\nScan'). Write raw JSON with sys.stdout.write() in the pass-through paths
(drone.py + router.py); keep Rich for drone's own human UI. Verified live.
