…ures Add Copilot to global setup targets using the active home directory. Clarify project-local update-skill behavior and surface filesystem errors as actionable command errors rather than tracebacks. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

@peteromallet Let me know what you think but I noticed the personal installation setup didn't exist for copilot. This will work for copilot set up on windows and on wsl/linux |

Problem
Running update-skill copilot from an unwritable working directory (including a Windows-mounted tools directory under WSL) produces an uncaught PermissionError. The project-local destination is not shown beforehand, making it easy to mistake this for Windows-versus-Linux environment detection. Global setup supports several assistants, but currently omits Copilot CLI.
Changes
Validation
73 targeted tests passed across test_setup.py, test_update_skill_cmd_direct.py, test_transitive_modules_update_skill.py, and test_search_versioning.py. Coverage includes personal installation with a simulated Windows-mounted CWD and DESLOPPIFY_ROOT, repeat setup, global discovery, project instruction preservation, mkdir/read/write permission failures, and nonzero CLI exit without a traceback. Targeted repository lint selection passed. Also installed and re-ran setup in a real Linux user home.
