Fix Cursor popup compatibility and add LM Studio onboarding

[bcharleson]

Summary

• prevent duplicate Continue activation failures in Cursor by skipping duplicate host activation and tolerating duplicate command registration
• make shared selector popups and provider/model dropdowns render opaquely so they do not inherit Cursor's translucent surfaces
• extend local onboarding so LM Studio can be configured alongside Ollama, including detected local model selection and onboarding coverage

Test plan

• run npm run tsc:check in core
• run npm run build in gui
• run npm run package in extensions/vscode
• run npm run vitest -- onboarding.vitest.ts in core/config
• install continue-1.3.33.vsix in Cursor and verify opaque popups plus LM Studio onboarding
• install the VSIX in Antigravity and verify extension activation, popup rendering, and local model onboarding

Made with Cursor

Summary by cubic

Fixes Cursor activation conflicts and translucent popups. Adds LM Studio onboarding with auto-detected local models and provider selection alongside Ollama.

• Bug Fixes

  • Skip duplicate extension-host activation in Cursor and tolerate duplicate command registration to prevent activation failures.
  • Render shared selector popups and model/provider dropdowns opaquely to avoid inheriting Cursor’s translucent surfaces.
  • Fallback to DevTools when continue.viewLogs isn’t registered.
  • Add minimal tailwind.config.cjs for CI formatting, sync VS Code extension lockfile to 1.3.33, and ignore local-artifacts/.

• New Features

  • LM Studio local onboarding: detect available models, auto-assign roles (chat/autocomplete/embed), and write config.
  • Support listing LM Studio models in core and passing detected titles through the onboarding flow.
  • UI toggle to pick local provider (Ollama or LM Studio) and show detected LM Studio models and connection status.
  • Added vitest for onboarding model selection and config generation.

^{Written for commit 47ae277. Summary will update on new commits.}
