- Error message for --cloud without experimental mode explains how to enable /experimental

- Running
copilotwith an unquoted multi-word prompt now shows a helpful "quote your prompt" hint instead of a raw commander error - Default networking transport is now HTTP/1.1, improving reliability on some network paths. Opt into HTTP/2 with COPILOT_ENABLE_HTTP2=1.

- High-contrast diff backgrounds use darker colors to improve text readability
- Add showTipsOnStartup setting to control whether startup tips are shown
