Adds Copilot_CLI_vs_VSCode_Agent.md to answer the question of how Copilot CLI differs from the Copilot Agent in VS Code.

Changes

  • New doc: Copilot_CLI_vs_VSCode_Agent.md covering:
    • Copilot CLI (gh copilot suggest / gh copilot explain): terminal-only, stateless, scoped to shell command generation and explanation — no file/workspace awareness
    • VS Code Copilot Agent: editor-integrated, multi-turn, workspace-aware (@workspace), supports inline chat, Edits mode, and autonomous Agent mode that can read/write files
    • Side-by-side comparison table across runtime environment, context awareness, file mutation capability, and ideal persona
    • Decision guide on when to use each (or both together)
