Nestify for VS Code (vscode-v0.1.0)

[Root18]

Summary

Adds Nestify for VS Code, a companion extension living in vscode-extension/, bringing the Nestify workflow to VS Code's native Explorer file nesting engine (explorer.fileNesting.patterns).

Features

• Nestify: Nest under... — picker-based manual nesting from the Explorer context menu, with the same UX as the Visual Studio version (multi-select parent candidates, same-folder guard, cycle prevention). Writes exact-name pattern entries to workspace settings.
• Nestify: Unnest — removes exact-name entries from workspace and user settings; only touches nested files.
• Nestify: Auto-nest — applies the same naming rules as the VS extension as glob patterns (C# interfaces, markdown docs for .cs/.vb/.ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx, minified/bundled JS chain); rules keep working as new files are created.
• Nestify: Remove auto-nest rules — surgically removes exactly what Auto-nest added.
• Nestify: Toggle file nesting — flips explorer.fileNesting.enabled (also auto-enabled on first nest).

Implementation

• Pure pattern logic in src/patterns.ts with 13 unit tests (node:test); VS Code glue in src/extension.ts. Strict TypeScript, no runtime dependencies.
• Settings written at workspace scope when a workspace is open, user scope otherwise, using scope-accurate reads via config.inspect.
• Package name is nestify-vscode (marketplace ID Root18.nestify-vscode) because Root18.nestify is already taken by the Visual Studio extension; displayed name stays Nestify.
• Publisher Root18, author Imad Al-Muhtadi, 128x128 icon; packages to a 37 KB VSIX with vsce.
• Root README updated with a Nestify for VS Code section and project structure entry.

Test plan

• 13/13 unit tests pass (npm test)
• Compiles clean under strict TypeScript
• Packaged with vsce and installed locally; nest/unnest/auto-nest verified against .vscode/settings.json
