feat: add OS-aware command suggestions for v0.5.0

BREAKING CHANGE: ContextEnvelope now includes OS detection fields

This major feature makes LineSense truly cross-platform by detecting
the user's operating system, Linux distribution, and package manager,
then tailoring all command suggestions accordingly.

### Key Features

**OS Detection:**
- Detects operating system (Linux, macOS, Windows)
- Detects Linux distribution from /etc/os-release (Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, etc.)
- Detects package manager (apt, yum, dnf, pacman, brew, choco, winget, etc.)
- All detection happens automatically - zero configuration required

**Smart Suggestions:**
- Package installation commands use correct package manager
  - Ubuntu: `sudo apt install nginx`
  - Arch: `sudo pacman -S nginx`
  - macOS: `brew install nginx`
  - Windows: `choco install nginx` or `winget install nginx`
- Native command preferences (e.g., `open` on macOS vs `xdg-open` on Linux)
- OS-appropriate file paths and command syntax

**Implementation:**
- New `internal/core/osdetect.go` with detection utilities
- Extended `ContextEnvelope` with OS, Distribution, PackageManager fields
- Updated AI system prompt with OS-specific command guidelines
- AI user prompts now include OS context
- Comprehensive test coverage for all detection functions

**Examples:**
Input: "install docker"
- Ubuntu → `sudo apt install docker.io`
- Arch → `sudo pacman -S docker`
- macOS → `brew install --cask docker`

Input: "open file.txt"
- macOS → `open file.txt`
- Linux → `xdg-open file.txt`
- Windows → `start file.txt`

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.5.0] - 2025-11-15
+
+### Added
+- **Operating System Aware Suggestions** 🎯
+  - LineSense now detects your operating system (Linux, macOS, Windows)
+  - Detects Linux distribution (Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, etc.)
+  - Automatically detects your package manager (apt, yum, dnf, pacman, brew, etc.)
+  - AI suggestions are now tailored to your specific OS and package manager
+  - Example: Typing "install nginx" on Ubuntu suggests `sudo apt install nginx`, on macOS suggests `brew install nginx`, on Arch suggests `sudo pacman -S nginx`
+
+### Improved
+- **Smarter Package Management Commands**
+  - No more suggesting apt commands on macOS or brew commands on Linux
+  - Package installation commands use the correct package manager for your system
+  - File operations use OS-appropriate paths and command syntax
+  - Native commands preferred (e.g., `open` on macOS vs `xdg-open` on Linux)
+
+### Technical
+- Added OS detection utility in `internal/core/osdetect.go`
+- New `DetectOS()` function using `runtime.GOOS`
+- New `DetectDistribution()` function parsing `/etc/os-release` on Linux
+- New `DetectPackageManager()` function checking for installed package managers
+- Extended `ContextEnvelope` with `OS`, `Distribution`, and `PackageManager` fields
+- Updated AI prompts to include OS context and OS-specific command guidelines
+- Comprehensive test suite for OS detection across platforms
