Issue Description
The HVE Core installer agent needs a new Phase 4.5 to support copying agents into target repositories. VS Code does not support external path settings for agents - they must reside within the workspace .github/agents/ directory. This creates a requirement for the installer to offer agent copying as part of the installation workflow.
Requirements
- Add Phase 4.5 between Phase 4 validation and success report
- Offer three selection options: Install all agents (recommended), Install RPI Core only, or Skip
- RPI Core bundle includes:
task-researcher, task-planner, task-implementor, rpi-agent
- Implement collision detection for existing agent files with Overwrite/Keep/Compare options
- Create
.hve-tracking.json manifest for Cruft-style upgrade tracking
- Support future upgrade workflows with diff-based prompts for modified files
Acceptance Criteria
Additional Context
- Research document:
.copilot-tracking/research/20260113-agent-copy-installer-research.md
- Current installer:
.github/agents/hve-core-installer.agent.md
- 17 chatmodes + 1 agent available for copying
- Only 2 platform-specific agents (ADO/GitHub) - not worth separate selection question
