ENG-1312 Document the IDE plugin

[traycerai]

Plan

Observations

• The repository uses Docusaurus with a docs/ directory and sidebars.ts for navigation.
• No existing section or code references for an IDE plugin were found.
• Current docs are organized into categories like "integrations" and "tools".
• The ticket outlines steps: research, plan structure, draft, and approval.
• We need to create a new docs/ide-plugin section and integrate it into the sidebar.

Approach

• Research the IDE plugin’s source or specification to gather its commands, configuration options, and API.
• Plan a clear hierarchy: overview, installation, configuration, usage, API reference, and development.
• Scaffold markdown files under docs/ide-plugin/ following conventions from other integrations.
• Update sidebars.ts to add an "IDE Plugin" category under "Configure CodeRabbit".
• Optionally configure an automated API reference generator (e.g., TypeDoc) if the plugin is in a TS repo.
• Draft content, open a PR for review, iterate, and obtain approval.

Reasoning

• Inspected top-level repository files and confirmed it's a Docusaurus site.
• Examined docs/ and sidebars.ts to understand existing nav structure.
• Searched for any IDE plugin references in codebase and online; none existed.
• Verified the GitHub ticket tasks and determined a new docs section is required.

With guidance in every IDE! 📚
Happy hopping! 🎉
