Hunter Bown 1bacaf763e feat(runtime-api): expose thread branch metadata
Add read-only workspace and branch metadata to runtime thread summaries so VS Code Agent View can show when a thread lane is on another branch. Non-git workspaces return null branch metadata instead of failing.

Refs #2580, #2721.
Credits the existing branch-visibility trail from #1217/#2341 in the changelog.

CodeWhale for VS Code

Official CodeWhale extension scaffold for local development.

This first slice is intentionally small:

  • open CodeWhale in an integrated terminal
  • start codewhale serve --http in a visible terminal
  • check a local runtime through /health and /v1/runtime/info
  • show connection state in the status bar
  • show a read-only Agent View with recent runtime thread summaries from /v1/threads/summary

It does not expose the full chat webview, VS Code Agent View chat/editor integration, inline edit application, marketplace publish workflow, or retry/undo/snapshot GUI endpoints yet.

Local Use

npm install
npm run compile
npm run package
code --install-extension codewhale-vscode-0.8.53.vsix

Configure codewhale.commandPath, codewhale.runtimeHost, codewhale.runtimePort, and codewhale.runtimeToken from VS Code settings.

Keep the runtime on 127.0.0.1 unless you deliberately front it with trusted local networking controls.
