Subject: [PATCH] fix: add system prompt instruction about
 <environment_details> block

The model didn't know to look for or use the <environment_details> block
injected into user messages. Add a static instruction in the system prompt
explaining it, similar to how the legacy VS Code extension does it.

This instruction is static text that never changes, so it caches well
alongside the rest of the system prompt.
