v1.8.8: Fix duplicate tool display, CONTEXT_OVERFLOW after nudge, collapsed code blocks

- Remove duplicate tool-executing IPC send (inline loop at lines 1320-1325 was redundant with sendToolExecutionEvents at line 1359)
- Nudge now strips raw code dump from history before retry (clears fullResponseText, resets session, rebuilds prompt) to prevent CONTEXT_OVERFLOW
- CodeBlock: tool call results start expanded instead of collapsed to 6 lines (isToolCall flag respected)
- copilot-instructions.md: clarified that reading means following
