Update Console Dev extension - Major Rewrite + Support Windows + Fix Parser

[xmok]

I initially tried to change as less code as possible but after removing axios and all of the formatter code, there was no real reason to keep pipe commands for a simple function which is why I removed it.

Description

• Description shown in Detail panel w/ Markdown formatting
• Simplify parser to directly expose objects
• Use Raycast hook (useCachedPromise) to benefit from caching
• Remove many deps (adios axios)
• Modernize to use latest Raycast configuration
• Add metadata images
• Add README.md

Checklist

• I read the extension guidelines
• I read the documentation about publishing
• I ran npm run build and tested this distribution build in Raycast
• I checked that files in the assets folder are used by the extension itself
• I checked that assets used in the README are located outside the metadata folder if they were not generated with our metadata tool

Greptile Summary

This PR represents a comprehensive modernization and rewrite of the Console Dev extension. The changes fundamentally transform how the extension handles RSS feed data, moving from a complex functional programming approach using fp-ts and axios to a simplified implementation leveraging Raycast's modern utilities.

Core architectural changes:

• Replaced manual state management with useCachedPromise hook for automatic caching and error handling
• Removed fp-ts dependency and complex pipe operations in favor of straightforward JavaScript
• Migrated from axios to native fetch API for HTTP requests
• Updated from deprecated Raycast components (ListItem, ActionPanelItem) to current equivalents (List.Item, Action)

User experience improvements:

• Added detail view support with markdown-formatted descriptions for all three commands (Tools, Betas, Interviews)
• Enhanced visual presentation with proper date formatting in accessories
• Improved error handling through built-in toast notifications

Technical modernization:

• Updated TypeScript configuration to ES2023 and added proper type definitions
• Migrated ESLint from legacy JSON config to flat config format using @raycast/eslint-config
• Added Windows platform support alongside macOS
• Updated all dependencies to their latest versions (Node 16→22, TypeScript 4→5, React 17→19)
• Added Turndown library for HTML-to-markdown conversion

Infrastructure additions:

• Added metadata images for store presentation
• Created comprehensive README.md documentation
• Updated CHANGELOG.md with proper formatting

The extension now follows modern Raycast development patterns while maintaining the same core functionality of displaying Console Dev's RSS feeds for tools, betas, and interviews. The codebase is significantly simplified and more maintainable.

Adding { explicitArray: false } accounts for all the parsing.
