Ryan Parmeter e6e1ef2144 refactor: Complete simplification - require all binary paths explicitly
BREAKING CHANGE: All binary paths must now be explicitly configured.

Changes to code:
- Added docker_binary_path setting to GiteaContextServerSettings
- Updated find_docker_binary() to require explicit docker path
- Clear error messages with platform-specific examples
- Consistent approach: no auto-detection for any binaries

Changes to documentation:
- Updated README.md with docker_binary_path requirement
- Rewrote default_settings.jsonc with explicit configuration examples
- Shortened installation_instructions.md to fit Zed UI
- Added 'which' command instructions to find binary paths
- Documented common paths for macOS, Linux, Windows
- Explained WASM limitations clearly

Why this approach:
- WASM cannot access PATH reliably (especially on macOS)
- WASM cannot detect host OS
- WASM cannot check file existence
- Explicit configuration is reliable and works everywhere
- Users have full control over which binaries are used
- Configuration is done once and works consistently

This completes the simplification:
 No auto-detection attempts
 Clear, actionable error messages
 Comprehensive documentation
 Works reliably on Linux, macOS, and Windows
 Tested on Linux x86_64 and macOS M4

// ============================================================================
// REQUIRED SETTINGS
// ============================================================================
// Required: Your Gitea personal access token
// Generated in Gitea at: Settings > Applications > Generate New Token
// This token is used to authenticate with your Gitea instance
"gitea_access_token": "YOUR_GITEA_TOKEN",
// ============================================================================
// BINARY CONFIGURATION (Choose ONE option)
// ============================================================================
// Option 1: Local Binary Path
// Required if not using Docker
// Specify the full path to the gitea-mcp binary on your system
//
// Find your binary path with:
// macOS/Linux: which gitea-mcp-server (or: which gitea-mcp)
// Windows: where gitea-mcp.exe
//
// Common paths:
// macOS (Homebrew): "/opt/homebrew/bin/gitea-mcp-server"
// macOS (Intel): "/usr/local/bin/gitea-mcp-server"
// Linux: "/usr/local/bin/gitea-mcp"
// Windows: "C:\\Program Files\\gitea-mcp\\gitea-mcp.exe"
//
"gitea_mcp_binary_path": "/opt/homebrew/bin/gitea-mcp-server",
// Option 2: Docker Mode
// Use Docker to run gitea-mcp in a container
// Requires Docker to be installed and running
//
// When using Docker, you must also specify docker_binary_path below
//
// "use_docker": true,
// ============================================================================
// DOCKER CONFIGURATION (Only if use_docker is true)
// ============================================================================
// Required when use_docker is true
// Full path to the docker binary
//
// Find your docker path with:
// macOS/Linux: which docker
//
// Common paths:
// Linux: "/usr/bin/docker"
// macOS: "/usr/local/bin/docker"
// "/Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin/docker"
//
// "docker_binary_path": "/usr/bin/docker",
// Optional: Docker image to use for gitea-mcp
// Only used if use_docker is true
// Default: "gitea/gitea-mcp-server:latest"
//
// Examples:
// - "gitea/gitea-mcp-server:v1.0.0" (specific version)
// - "my-registry.com/gitea-mcp-server:custom" (custom registry)
//
// "docker_image": "gitea/gitea-mcp-server:latest",
// ============================================================================
// GITEA INSTANCE CONFIGURATION
// ============================================================================
// Optional: URL of your Gitea instance (for self-hosted Gitea)
// Leave commented out to use the default public Gitea instance
//
// Examples:
// - "https://git.example.com"
// - "https://gitea.internal.company.com"
// - "http://localhost:3000" (for local development)
//
// "gitea_host": "https://your-gitea-instance.com",
// Optional: Allow insecure/self-signed certificates
// Set to true ONLY if using self-signed certificates
//
// Security warning: This disables certificate verification
// Only use this for trusted internal servers
//
// "gitea_insecure": false
// ============================================================================
// IMPORTANT NOTES
// ============================================================================
//
// Why explicit paths are required:
// This extension runs in a WebAssembly (WASM) sandbox which cannot:
// - Access PATH environment variable reliably
// - Detect the host operating system
// - Check if files exist on the filesystem
// - Auto-discover binary locations
//
// Therefore, you MUST explicitly configure either:
// 1. gitea_mcp_binary_path (for local binary), OR
// 2. use_docker: true + docker_binary_path (for Docker mode)
//
// ============================================================================
