Operator feedback on the Ask-Claude ergonomics (relates to #42/#43/#60):
- One user-facing command `cowriting.edit` ("Ask Claude to Edit") routes to the
selection or whole-document flow at runtime via the pure `routeEdit` helper
(selection → editSelection; none / tab right-click → editDocument). The two
underlying commands stay registered for the seams + E2E but are hidden from the
palette, and the split menu pairs collapse to one entry.
- Keybindings with `mac` variants (the missing variant is why ⌃⌥R "didn't work"
on macOS — Option combos are unreliable there): `cmd+alt+e`/`ctrl+alt+e` for
Ask-Claude-to-Edit, `cmd+alt+r`/`ctrl+alt+r` for the review panel.
- The instruction prompt now renders INLINE at the selection/cursor via a
dedicated Comments-API controller (`InlineAskController`, `cowriting.askClaude`)
instead of the top-center QuickInput — VS Code's Inline-Chat-style placement.
Both Ask-Claude entry points (editSelection + the preview's askClaude) share it.
Tests: routeEdit unit tests; E2E menu/palette assertions updated for the unified
command; E2E drives the inline prompt by stubbing `api.inlineAsk.prompt`.
