v0.1.9 - Briefing fixes for copilot CLI 1.0.49

What's new in v0.1.9

Fixed

• Briefing AI Summary works on copilot CLI 1.0.49+ — switched to --output-format json and parse the JSONL assistant.message.data.content. In 1.0.49 the text-mode output no longer prints the model's reply, so the previous flow created briefing entries with an empty ## AI Summary section. Timeout also bumped 60s → 120s for tool-using calls.
• ""Check now"" on stale CLI machines — the launcher now re-queries copilot --version after copilot update exits. Previously, on a machine running an older copilot build whose update text didn't match either known format, the first click reported OLD → OLD (no version change detected) and the second click reported NEW → NEW. You now correctly see OLD → NEW on the first click and the briefing renders end-to-end.

Internal

• Removed the github/copilot-cli#3298 win32 keep-alive stub workaround. The upstream fix shipped in copilot CLI v1.0.48 and the in-tree path layout has changed; verified clean against v1.0.49 (/keep-alive reports ""Keep-alive is disabled."" with no error).
• Test suite: 110 → 114 (added JSONL extractor tests, update-check precedence test).
