Resolves #137

## Summary

Claude CLI commands (plugin list, MCP list, version check, etc.) were being executed directly in Windows context where the `claude` binary doesn't exist, causing "program not found" errors across the UI.

This PR adds a helper function that automatically prefixes commands with `wsl` on Windows builds, ensuring all Claude CLI commands execute in the correct context.

## Changes

- **Added `create_claude_command()` helper function** that:
  - On Windows: Creates command with `wsl claude` prefix
  - On Linux/Mac: Creates command with `claude` directly

- **Updated 8 command functions** to use the helper:
  - `get_claude_version`
  - `list_plugins`
  - `install_plugin`
  - `uninstall_plugin`
  - `list_mcp_servers`
  - `remove_mcp_server`
  - `add_mcp_server`
  - `get_mcp_server_details`

- **Added comprehensive tests** for both Windows and Linux contexts

## What This Fixes

 Memory pane will now display files correctly
 CLI version will be detected properly
 Plugin pane will work correctly
 MCP servers pane will function properly
 All Claude CLI commands will execute in the correct context on Windows

## Testing

-  All 427 backend tests pass (added 1 new test)
-  All 387 frontend tests pass
-  All linting and formatting checks pass
-  `check-all.sh` reports: " All checks passed!"
