Currently ti-create takes body as a shell argument, which means newlines must be escaped (\n) and the result is stored as literal escape sequences rather than real newlines — looks terrible in the app.

Proposed fix

Allow ti-create to read body from stdin when - is passed or when no body argument is given:

ti-create task "My title" <<'EOF'
This is the **body**
with real newlines
EOF

The function should detect if stdin is a pipe/heredoc and read from it, otherwise fall back to the positional argument.
