Add Console and File Explorer as built-in open targets#21
Merged
Conversation
Fido can now open the resolved folder in a terminal or the OS file manager, alongside the editors. Both are modelled as new EditorKinds (Console, FileExplorer) so they reuse the whole open pipeline: a secondary button, a Ctrl+1..9 shortcut, and a command-line slug (`term` for the terminal, `files` for the file explorer). Both always hand over the folder, never a .sln. Cross-platform launch/locate: - Console: Windows Terminal (-d) / PowerShell / cmd; macOS Terminal via `open -a`; Linux terminal emulators, opening in the working directory. - File Explorer: explorer.exe; Finder via `open`; xdg-open / file managers. The terminal and file-manager programs are configurable per row in Settings (path blank = OS default). Launch command construction is extracted into a pure, unit-tested BuildLaunchSpec. Existing configs are migrated forward once on load (config version 2): Console and File Explorer are appended to the editor list, preserving order and the default pointer. Docs (README, Features, CHANGELOG) updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018AFP3DvYu9aiaNvtbtnBjy
Two bugs meant the Console target always opened cmd.exe on Windows: 1. A typed command name (e.g. "wt", "wt.exe", "pwsh") was ignored. Locate only honoured a path that existed verbatim on disk, so a bare command name failed File.Exists and fell back to auto-detection. Locate now resolves a bare command name on PATH (and the Windows Store-app alias folder, where wt.exe lives) before falling back. 2. Auto-detection preferred PATH-directory order over name order, so cmd.exe in System32 (early on PATH) beat wt.exe / powershell.exe in later directories. FindOnPath now tries names in the caller's preference order across all directories, so Windows Terminal / PowerShell win over cmd as intended. Docs updated to note a command name (not just a full path) is accepted. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_018AFP3DvYu9aiaNvtbtnBjy

Summary
Extends Fido with two new built-in open targets alongside editors: Console (opens a terminal at the resolved folder) and File Explorer (reveals the folder in the OS file manager). Both work cross-platform on Windows, macOS, and Linux with intelligent auto-detection of the OS defaults and full configurability.
