Replace shell-based install with in-process binary downloader

Browse Source 
Fetches the platform-specific native binary directly — npm registry
first (sha512-verified tarball, streamed through a minimal in-tree
tar parser) with the Anthropic CDN as a fallback (sha256-verified raw
binary). Writes to context.globalStorageUri/bin/claude[.exe] and
auto-sets executable.path so there's no PATH, sudo, PowerShell
execution-policy, npm EACCES, or Node-version failure modes left.

Adds typed DownloaderError codes (UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM / NETWORK /
INTEGRITY / WRITE / CANCELLED / AGGREGATE) and threads source /
version / npmCode / cdnCode into analytics so install failures are
finally bucketable instead of collapsed under "the shell command
failed". Error messages are scrubbed of user paths to keep analytics
PII-free.

Fixes a Windows path-with-spaces edge case by skipping cmd.exe shell
wrapping when spawning claude with an absolute executable.path.

Ships 28 tests: 24 unit (tar parser, platform detection, error
helpers) and 4 integration that hit real npm + real CDN end-to-end.

## [2.0.7] - 2026-04-24
### 🚀 Features Added
- **In-process installer**: Installing Claude Code no longer shells out to PowerShell, `curl | bash`, or `npm install -g`. The extension now fetches the platform-specific native binary directly (npm registry first, with Anthropic's CDN as a fallback), verifies the download with sha512/sha256, and writes it into the extension's own storage. Zero PATH, sudo, execution-policy, Node-version, or shell-quoting dependencies — if the extension installed, installing Claude works.
- **Progress updates during install**: The install modal now reports "Looking up…", "Downloading… (X%)", "Verifying…", and "Installing…" as it runs, with an automatic retry message if it falls back to the CDN source.
- **Cleaner install analytics**: `Install success` now includes `source` (npm/cdn) and `version`; `Install failed` now includes a typed `errorCode` (NETWORK / INTEGRITY / WRITE / AGGREGATE / UNSUPPORTED_PLATFORM) so failure buckets are meaningful instead of just "the shell command failed".
### 🐛 Bug Fixes
- **Paths with spaces on Windows**: Fixed an edge case where the main Claude spawn could fail when the executable path contained spaces (e.g. `C:\Users\Some User\…`). Absolute paths now bypass `cmd.exe` wrapping entirely.
### 🔧 Technical Improvements
- New `src/claudeDownloader.ts` module: self-contained, no new runtime dependencies. Includes a minimal in-tree tar parser so we can stream-extract the one binary we need from the npm tarball without bundling a tar library.
- Removed the old PowerShell / curl / npm install paths and the associated `_getKnownInstallLocation` / `_checkClaudeAvailable` helpers — the download flow now owns the install location end-to-end.
