Closes: #11992

Description

This PR attempts to address Issue #11992 by adding automatic commit message generation to Roo Code.

What it does:

  • Adds a sparkle button ($(sparkle)) to the Source Control title bar that generates a commit message using the configured AI provider
  • Reads the staged diff (falls back to unstaged diff if nothing is staged)
  • Sends the diff to the AI with a prompt requesting Conventional Commits format
  • Sets the generated message in the SCM input box
  • Supports per-commit model selection via a quick pick that lets users choose from their configured API profiles (as requested by @KingingWang)

Key files changed:

  • packages/types/src/vscode.ts - Added generateCommitMessage command ID
  • src/utils/commit-message-generator.ts - Core logic for diff retrieval, AI completion, and SCM integration
  • src/activate/registerCommands.ts - Command registration with profile picker and progress notification
  • src/package.json - Command contribution and SCM title menu entry
  • src/package.nls.json - i18n string for the command title
  • src/i18n/locales/en/common.json - i18n strings for UI messages
  • src/utils/__tests__/commit-message-generator.spec.ts - Unit tests

Test Procedure

  1. Unit tests: cd src && npx vitest run utils/__tests__/commit-message-generator.spec.ts (5 tests pass)
  2. Manual: Open a git repo in VSCode with Roo Code, make changes, click the sparkle icon in the SCM title bar, optionally select a different API profile, and verify a commit message is generated and placed in the SCM input box

Fixed code quality issues: rewrote incomplete getGitDiff tests with proper assertions (5 -> 8 tests), fixed markdown stripping regex for language-tagged code blocks, added --no-color to git diff commands, and internationalized hardcoded error strings. All lint and type checks pass.
