Squash the Gremlins

Five bug fixes in one pass:

Issue	Fix
#920	Add shell: true to execFile() in 4 watch capabilities (Windows spawn EINVAL)
#1062	Bump @github/copilot-sdk to ^0.3.0 + adapt client.ts for API changes (ESM resolution error)
#880	Add Copilot CLI check to squad doctor + preflight in monitor-teams/email
#1107	Inline team member names in hire confirmation prompt
#905	Support explicit github.owner/github.repo in .squad/config.json for repo override

Approach

• Windows: spawn EINVAL in watch capabilities (execFile without shell:true) #920: The watch capabilities invoke copilot via execFile() which on Windows cannot resolve bare commands through PATH. Adding shell: true delegates resolution to the OS shell.
• @github/copilot-sdk 0.1.32 produces errors on Windows when running the "squad" command #1062: The SDK's @github/copilot-sdk 0.1.32 had a broken ESM import. Bumping to 0.3.0 resolves it, with minor type-cast adjustments in client.ts for the renamed gitHubToken field.
• triage --monitor-teams/--monitor-email: missing preflight check for gh copilot extension #880: Added a checkCopilotCli() doctor check and preflight guards in monitor-teams/email so users get clear guidance when the copilot CLI is missing.
• [bug?] Hire a team, it says does this look right, what looks right? #1107: The confirmation prompt now lists team member names inline so the user doesn't need to scroll up to verify.
• Bug: Squad didn't pick the right github repo for issues #905: createPlatformAdapter() now reads .squad/config.json for explicit github.owner/github.repo overrides before falling back to git remote parsing.

Testing

• npm run build passes
• vitest run test/cli/doctor.test.ts passes (updated check count assertion)
• vitest run test/platform-adapter.test.ts passes (6 new tests for config override)
• Pre-existing scheduler test failures on Windows are unchanged by this PR

Closes #920, Closes #1062, Closes #880, Closes #1107, Closes #905

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR bundles five fixes across the CLI and SDK: Windows compatibility for watch capability process spawning, upgrading @github/copilot-sdk for ESM resolution reliability, improved “doctor” diagnostics, clearer team-hire confirmation UX, and an explicit GitHub repo override in .squad/config.json to avoid incorrect repo detection.

Changes:

• Add shell: true to execFile() in multiple watch capabilities to avoid Windows spawn EINVAL, and add Copilot CLI preflight checks.
• Bump @github/copilot-sdk to ^0.3.0 and adapt SquadClient integration for API/type changes.
• Prefer { github: { owner, repo } } from .squad/config.json when creating the platform adapter; improve hire confirmation prompt to include member names.
