[FEATURE] Prioritize active VSCode editor file in @ mention file picker
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
When using @ to mention a file, the picker presents a flat list with no awareness of the currently active editor. In projects with multiple identically-named files across subdirectories (e.g., several SESSION_CONTEXT.md files), the user must manually disambiguate every time, even when the file they want is already open in the editor.
Proposed Solution
Surface the currently active editor file as the first result in the @ file picker, ahead of any fuzzy-matched suggestions. The active file is already available via the VS Code API, so this should be low-cost to implement.

Use Case Example
A user working in a multi-project repo has PROJECT_A/SESSION_CONTEXT.md open in their editor. They type @SESSION and are presented with five files named SESSION_CONTEXT.md from different subdirectories. They have to read the full paths to find the right one. If the active editor file were prioritized, the correct file would simply be the first result.
