Feature Request: Automatic Context Addition for Jupyter Notebooks in VSCode

Summary

It would be great to enhance the Kilo Code extension to automatically add the content of the currently active Jupyter notebook (or selected cell) to the context when using the "Add Context" feature in VSCode. This would mirror the seamless integration seen in GitHub Copilot, eliminating the need for manual copy-pasting.

Current Behavior

Currently, when working with Jupyter notebooks in VSCode, users must manually copy the relevant code or cell content and paste it into the "Add Context" prompt. This is tedious and disrupts the workflow, especially for iterative development in notebooks.

Proposed Feature

• Automatic Detection: When the "Add Context" command is invoked (e.g., via shortcut or menu), detect if the active editor is a Jupyter notebook (.ipynb file).
• Context Extraction: Automatically include the entire notebook content or the currently selected cell(s) in the context input.
• User Control: Provide options to select "Entire Notebook" or "Selected Cell(s)" via a quick pick menu, similar to how Copilot handles it.
• Fallback: If not in a notebook, retain the existing manual input behavior.

This would make Kilo Code more competitive with tools like GitHub Copilot, which already supports this for notebooks, improving productivity for data scientists and ML engineers.

Why This Matters

• Workflow Efficiency: Reduces friction in AI-assisted coding sessions.
• User Experience: Aligns with intuitive expectations from other popular extensions.
• Target Users: Primarily Jupyter users in VSCode, but extensible to other file types.

We have a PR and Extension to do that right now for Notebooks. But we need help landing the PR - #684

The Notebook extension is already in the Marketplace - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ComplYue.roo-nb

If you could implement or guide an agent in implementing Chris' last comment, we could land it, then you (and others) could get some Kilo-Mojo for your Notebooks.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
