Added Prefer Native AI Assistant checkbox for non Vscode IDEs

[cx-kedar-bhujade]

Description

This change introduces logic to guide users in selecting and using an AI assistant based on their IDE environment and available extensions.

---

When is the banner shown?

After authentication, on the welcome page:

• The system checks whether the user’s preferred AI assistant extension is installed.

Banner behavior

• Preferred extension found → No banner is displayed
• Not found, but 1 alternative available →
  • Show blue info banner
  • Automatically switches to the available alternative
• Not found, 2+ alternatives available →
  • Show orange warning banner
  • User must manually select an assistant in Settings
• No supported extensions found →
  • Show orange warning banner prompting installation

Non–VS Code IDE Behavior (Cursor / Windsurf / Kiro)

• If "Prefer Native AI Assistant" is enabled (default):
  • Banner is always hidden
  • Extension checks are skipped
  • Uses the IDE’s built-in AI assistant via clipboard integration

---

AI Assistant Selection (VS Code Settings)

Selection is configured via a dropdown in VS Code Settings:

Checkmarx One

• Copilot
• Claude

Developer Assist

• Copilot

• Claude

• When user action is required, the banner includes a link to Settings for selection.

---

VS Code vs Non–VS Code Behavior

• VS Code

  • Uses the selected assistant from the dropdown
  • Routes AI interactions through the corresponding extension (Copilot / Claude)

• Non–VS Code IDEs

  • Default behavior uses native IDE AI assistant
  • Dropdown selection is ignored when "Prefer Native AI Assistant" is enabled
  • Interaction is handled via clipboard-based integration
