Summary

Fixes #118

Modernizes the VS Code extension testing setup by migrating to the new @vscode/test-cli package.

Changes

  • Add .vscode-test.mjs configuration file using @vscode/test-cli API
  • Update test script in package.json to use vscode-test command
  • Upgrade @vscode/test-electron from ^2.1.5 to ^2.5.2
  • Add @vscode/test-cli (^0.0.12) as dev dependency
  • Add Mocha environment configuration for ESLint compatibility
  • Optimize runTest.js to reuse local VS Code installation

Benefits

  • Cleaner, more maintainable test configuration
  • Faster test execution (reuses existing VS Code install)
  • Better alignment with official VS Code extension development guidelines

Update test infrastructure to use @vscode/test-cli

Switch from custom runTest.js to the official @vscode/test-cli which
resolves ENOENT errors when running tests. Update test files to use
global mocha functions instead of explicit imports.
