Colby McHenryandClaude Fable 5 490791c07a feat(installer): GitHub Copilot targets — VS Code, Copilot CLI, JetBrains
Adds three new installer targets so `codegraph install` can wire the
MCP server into GitHub Copilot surfaces:

- copilot-vscode: .vscode/mcp.json (local) or the VS Code User-dir
  mcp.json (global), JSONC-surgical edits, `--path` pinned via
  ${workspaceFolder} for global installs
- copilot-cli: ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json
- copilot-jetbrains: github-copilot config dir (XDG / %LOCALAPPDATA%)

Detection, install, uninstall, and --print-config are covered for all
three in installer-targets.test.ts, including platform-specific path
resolution.

/**
* VS Code (GitHub Copilot Chat) target.
*
* - MCP server entry to `.vscode/mcp.json` (local, workspace-scoped)
* or the user-level `mcp.json` in the VS Code User dir (global):
*
* macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/mcp.json
* Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json
* Linux: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME|~/.config/Code/User/mcp.json
*
* VS Code moved MCP config out of settings.json into this dedicated
* `mcp.json` (v1.102, "MCP: Open User Configuration"). Shape is
* `{ "servers": { "<name>": { "type": "stdio", "command", "args" } } }`
* — note `servers`, not the `mcpServers` wrapper Claude/Cursor use.
* - No instructions file: Copilot Chat consumes the MCP `initialize`
* instructions, the single source of truth (#529).
* - No permissions concept — `autoAllow` is silently ignored.
*
* ## Why we inject `--path` (mirrors Cursor)
*
* VS Code's docs don't specify the working directory stdio MCP servers
* are launched with, and (like Cursor) we can't rely on it being the
* workspace root. Rather than depend on undocumented cwd behavior we
* pin the project explicitly:
*
* - `local` install: absolute path (known at install time).
* - `global` install: `${workspaceFolder}` — VS Code expands its
* standard variables inside mcp.json, giving per-workspace behavior
* from a single user-level config.
*
* ## JSONC
*
* VS Code parses its config files as JSONC (comments + trailing commas
* allowed), so reads + writes go through `jsonc-parser` — surgical
* edits that preserve sibling servers, user comments, and formatting
* across install / re-install / uninstall (same approach as opencode).
