refactor(Cocoon/ExtensionHost): stabilize extension initialization and API surface alignment

- Restructured service layer initialization to properly sequence IPC handshake and dependency provisioning in line with Effect-TS patterns
- Fixed synchronous effect execution in extension API getters to match VS Code's interface expectations (isActive/exports)
- Aligned Memento implementation with vscode.d.ts contracts through proper dependency injection and error handling
- Corrected IPC configuration types and imports to enforce type safety across Mountain-Cocoon gRPC communication (Vine protocol)
- Addressed extension activation timing reporting by including required activationEvents array in IPC notifications

This refactoring ensures Cocoon's extension host adheres to VS Code API contracts while maintaining strict Effect-TS resource management, critical for Path A MVP's Node.js sidecar stability. The changes directly support implemented workflows #2 (extension activation) and #4 (state persistence).
