Fix Copilot CLI hook compatibility so PeonPing no longer drops key agent events

The PR replaces the Copilot integration path with a unified event-handling fix: Copilot hooks are written directly under `~/.copilot/hooks` when available, the Copilot adapters now use explicit per-event translation instead of implicit remaps, and incoming payloads are normalized from camelCase aliases to the expected snake_case fields so events like `permissionRequest` are detected instead of being silently ignored.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

Implemented a compatibility and routing fix for Copilot CLI events: direct hook auto-wiring in install/uninstall scripts, explicit event mapping in adapters, and camelCase payload fallback (13 aliases) in both shell and PowerShell execution paths. This turns previously dropped events—especially `permissionRequest`—into detectable events for PeonPing.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

Copilot CLI users of PeonPing now receive audible cues for completion, permission prompts, and failure/notification signals again, reducing the chance of missing critical workflow prompts during agent sessions; this also makes behavior more predictable for operators who rely on these hooks for task oversight. The change works by replacing brittle event remaps with explicit translation and a compatibility shim for upstream payload drift, while preserving existing handled event coverage. Watch for whether future Copilot CLI payload schema changes introduce new field-name variants beyond the 13 aliases and whether any unhandled event names appear in real traffic.
