Six tool identifiers (likely from OpenCode sessions) were showing as "Unknown" in the UI due to missing entries in the display name mapping.

  • Added entries to src/toolNames.json: edit → "Edit", question → "Question", skill → "Skill", task → "Task", todowrite → "Todo Write", websearch → "Web Search"

<issue_description>## Unknown Tools Found

The following tools were detected but don't have friendly display names:

  • edit
  • question
  • skill
  • task
  • todowrite
  • websearch

Please add friendly names for these tools to improve the user experience.

I think these were used by OpenCode, since that is how i use my Copilot subscription most of the time.</issue_description>
