feat: add external provider to run Claude in separate terminal

[marcinjahn]

I think it's pretty convenient to have Claude running in a separate window, separate from Neovim window. I think this is particularly useful on tiling window managers.

That sounds like a good idea.

Could you please rebase onto main and address the review comments below?

[ThomasK33]

LGTM. Just a minor nit about the default in config.lua; once that's addressed, it's good to merge.

I had trouble running the tests locally, the scripts are very nix-oriented

True. I've added a devcontainer configuration in #112 to make the setup easier.

You can launch it in a devcontainer, and then Nix should be preinstalled.

BTW, I was able to run the tests locally with these temporary changes to the Makefile. Of course, you'd have to install busted

out of curiosity
is it somehow related to #50?

Cool. Please feel free to modify these to accommodate your local setup and preferences; however, we won't accept any changes that move away from Nix.

No.

Nice, devcontainer is exactly what I needed. Pushed the fixes.

Sweet, thanks @marcinjahn 👍
