🚀 v2.0.0 — Structured Grouped Menu and Classic Menu

Highlights

New Default: Structured Grouped Menu

This is a major release that changes the default context menu experience for AKS clusters. Commands are now organized into role-based groups instead of a flat list:

Group	Purpose
Develop & Deploy	Kubectl, ACR attach, Draft, KAITO, Azure Service Operators
Troubleshoot & Diagnose	AKS Diagnostics, Periscope, Inspektor Gadget, Retina
Manage Cluster	Properties, Portal, delete, rotate cert, reconcile

Prefer the classic layout? A single click on "AKS: Take me back to Classic Menu" (available in the context menu and Command Palette) restores the previous experience instantly. Both modes remain fully supported.

Full Changelog: 1.7.8...2.0.0

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR bumps the extension version from 1.7.8 to 2.0.0 to publish the v2.0.0 release, which makes the structured grouped context menu the default, adds the "Ask @Azure" Copilot integration, and includes the other features summarized in the description. The lockfile is regenerated alongside the version bump, resulting in many devOptional → dev reclassifications.

Changes:

• Bump version in package.json from 1.7.8 to 2.0.0.
• Bump root version entries in package-lock.json to 2.0.0.
• Regenerated lockfile reclassifies many transitive packages from devOptional to dev (and tags ajv, fast-json-stable-stringify, json-schema-traverse as dev).
