Add platform-aware setup wizard and mcp-json output

Introduce platform selection to the setup wizard, recommend workflows
per platform, and avoid prompting for a simulator when macOS is the only
platform selected. Add helpers and constants (SetupPlatform,
PLATFORM_WORKFLOWS, PLATFORM_OPTIONS, infer/derive/filter helpers), a
multi-select platform prompt, and make the setup flow platform-aware
(seed workflow defaults, filter simulators, preserve platform in
sessionDefaults). Add selectionToMcpConfigJson() and a --format mcp-json
option to print a ready-to-paste MCP client config JSON block
(runSetupWizard supports 'mcp-json' early-exit). Update tests
(createPlatformPrompter and four platform-aware cases) and CHANGELOG.md
to document the new behavior.

 - Added environment variable support for session defaults (e.g. `XCODEBUILDMCP_WORKSPACE_PATH`, `XCODEBUILDMCP_SCHEME`, `XCODEBUILDMCP_PLATFORM`) so MCP clients can supply startup defaults in their config without a project config file ([#268](https://github.com/getsentry/XcodeBuildMCP/pull/268) by [@detailobsessed](https://github.com/detailobsessed)). See [docs/CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md#environment-variables).
 - Added `--format mcp-json` flag to `xcodebuildmcp setup` that exports an env-based MCP client config block instead of writing `config.yaml` ([#268](https://github.com/getsentry/XcodeBuildMCP/pull/268) by [@detailobsessed](https://github.com/detailobsessed)).
+- Added platform selection step to the `xcodebuildmcp setup` wizard. You now choose which platforms you are developing for (macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS, visionOS) before selecting workflows. Based on the selection, the wizard automatically recommends the appropriate workflow set.
 
 ### Changed
 
 - Clarified configuration layering: `session_set_defaults` overrides `config.yaml`, which overrides environment variables. See [docs/CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md) ([#268](https://github.com/getsentry/XcodeBuildMCP/pull/268) by [@detailobsessed](https://github.com/detailobsessed)).
 - Improved `xcodebuildmcp setup` reliability when optional targets (like physical devices) are unavailable.
+- The `setup` wizard no longer prompts for a simulator when macOS is the only selected platform — macOS apps run natively and do not require a simulator.
+- When a single platform is selected, `xcodebuildmcp setup` now writes `platform` to `sessionDefaults` in `config.yaml` and includes `XCODEBUILDMCP_PLATFORM` in `--format mcp-json` output. For multi-platform projects the platform key is omitted so the agent can choose per-command.
+- The `setup` wizard remembers previous choices on re-run: existing `config.yaml` values (including the new `platform`) are pre-loaded as defaults for every prompt.
