feat(copilot): proxy VS Code models transparently (#2687)
## Description

Make Headroom a transparent proxy for VS Code GitHub Copilot. Users keep
using Copilot's normal model picker—GPT-4.1, Claude Sonnet, Claude Opus,
and other models in their entitlement—while Headroom silently forwards
the selected model instead of registering or requiring a separate
"Headroom" model.

This also fixes GitHub's device OAuth exchange by sending form-encoded
request bodies, matching the endpoint contract.

## Type of Change

- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
- [x] New feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality to change)
- [x] Documentation update
- [ ] Performance improvement
- [ ] Code refactoring (no functional changes)

## Changes Made

- Add `headroom wrap vscode` to start a Copilot-seeded subscription
proxy and safely configure VS Code's shipped Copilot proxy override.
- Add `headroom unwrap vscode` for reversible cleanup.
- Preserve VS Code's selected model by changing only the proxy URL/auth
override; no custom model is registered and no model preference is
written.
- Support stable VS Code settings locations on macOS, Windows, and
Linux, plus `--settings-file` for Insiders, portable, and other
installations.
- Edit JSONC settings with a marker-owned block while preserving
unrelated bytes, comments, ordering, and trailing commas.
- Refuse malformed markers, invalid JSONC, or unmanaged existing Copilot
overrides instead of overwriting user configuration.
- Fix SIGINT cleanup so the managed settings block is removed and normal
shutdown exits successfully.
- Fix Copilot device OAuth start/poll requests to use
`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`.
- Add a compatibility matrix, setup/removal flow, credential behavior,
remote-development guidance, enterprise notes, troubleshooting, and
verification documentation.

## Testing

- [ ] Unit tests pass (`pytest`)
- [ ] Linting passes (`ruff check .`)
- [ ] Type checking passes (`mypy headroom`)
- [x] New tests added for new functionality
- [x] Manual testing performed

### Test Output

```text
$ .venv/bin/pytest -q tests/test_provider_copilot_vscode_config.py tests/test_cli/test_wrap_vscode.py tests/test_cli/test_wrap_helpers.py tests/test_copilot_auth.py tests/test_cli/test_copilot_auth.py tests/test_provider_copilot_wrap.py tests/test_cli/test_wrap_copilot.py tests/test_copilot_provider_label.py tests/test_copilot_subscription_smoke.py
244 passed in 0.59s

$ .venv/bin/ruff check <changed Python files and tests>
All checks passed!

$ .venv/bin/mypy headroom/providers/copilot/vscode.py
Success: no issues found in 1 source file

$ cd docs && npm run types:check
fumadocs-mdx && next typegen && tsc --noEmit
# exited 0

$ git diff --check
# exited 0
```

The full 10,179-test suite was also sampled through approximately 83%,
but was stopped because of its runtime. It exposed existing failures in
`test_recover_codex.py`, `test_wrap_stale_marker.py`, and
`test_proxy_health.py`; therefore the broad `pytest`, repository-wide
Ruff, and repository-wide mypy boxes are intentionally not checked.

## Real Behavior Proof

- Environment: macOS arm64, VS Code 1.131.0, built-in GitHub Copilot
0.59.0, Headroom 0.33.1-dev.
- Exact command / steps:
  1. Completed `headroom copilot login` with GitHub's device flow.
  2. Ran `.venv/bin/headroom wrap vscode --port 8788`.
3. Confirmed VS Code retained its ordinary Copilot model catalog and
made `GET /models` through Headroom with `GitHubCopilotChat/0.59.0` and
`editor-version: vscode/1.131.0`.
4. Sent native Copilot `/p/headroom/chat/completions` requests through
the same endpoint using `gpt-4.1`, `claude-sonnet-4.6`, and
`claude-opus-4.7`.
- Observed result:
  - All three completion requests returned HTTP 200.
- GPT-4.1 resolved upstream to `gpt-4.1-2025-04-14`; Sonnet and Opus
retained their exact selected IDs.
  - All returned the requested exact marker content.
- VS Code's settings contained only the Headroom proxy URL and token
auth override—no Headroom model or model-selection setting.
- The proxy health endpoint remained ready with `openai_api_url` set to
`https://api.githubcopilot.com`.
- Not tested:
- Physical Windows or Linux hosts (their path/config behavior is covered
by unit tests).
- WSL, dev containers, SSH remotes, VS Code Insiders, or enterprise
Copilot deployments end-to-end.
  - Every model in the live Copilot catalog.
- A fully submitted chat from VS Code's UI automation; the real
extension's catalog request and native completion paths were verified
separately.

## Screenshots (if applicable)

Not applicable; this integration intentionally has no separate UI or
model entry.

## Additional Notes

The integration uses VS Code Copilot's shipped advanced/debug proxy
endpoint seam. The managed settings block is deliberately narrow and
reversible. Remote extension hosts may need their own reachable
proxy/configuration as documented.
