* feat(syntax): apply fallback only after detection fails

Use the fallback syntax only when path and first-line detection fail, preserving existing behavior for detected files and explicit language selection.

* test(cli): cover fallback syntax behavior

Add integration coverage for fallback syntax usage, precedence with --language, and no-op behavior when syntax is already detected; update help snapshots for the new option.
