Fix: GitHub Copilot on Windows/WSL — stop breaking Copilot's own logging (issue #78)

COPILOT_HOME is GitHub Copilot CLI's own configuration variable — it relocates Copilot's entire config, including session-state/, session.db, and events.jsonl. Earlier guidance to set COPILOT_HOME=/mnt/c/Users/<you>/.copilot for Token Optimizer's benefit was also read by the native-Windows Copilot CLI, which then wrote its session logs to a /mnt path that doesn't exist on Windows — silently stopping its logging (and downstream tools like Langfuse lost session output).

What changed

• Token Optimizer no longer overloads COPILOT_HOME. It uses its own collision-free override, TOKEN_OPTIMIZER_COPILOT_HOME, which the Copilot CLI never reads.
• Auto-detection for WSL-root. Running bash install.sh --copilot from a Windows shell now auto-detects your real Windows Copilot home under /mnt/c/Users/<you>/.copilot — no environment variable needed.
• Guardrail. If COPILOT_HOME is set to a /mnt path, Token Optimizer warns that it breaks native-Windows Copilot's own logging and points you to the fix.
• Quieter diagnostics. Repeated home-resolution warnings are deduplicated (they previously printed up to four times per command).

If you set COPILOT_HOME on Windows following older guidance

Unset it (or set it back to C:\Users\<you>\.copilot) and restart Copilot — your session-state/ logs return immediately. Only if you have multiple Windows profiles do you need to set TOKEN_OPTIMIZER_COPILOT_HOME=/mnt/c/Users/<you>/.copilot (Token Optimizer only; never Copilot's own variable).
