docs: Document .continue/configs directory for local config profiles #12036

@continue

Description

@continue

Summary

PR #11935 added support for .continue/configs/ as a third directory for loading local config profiles, alongside .continue/agents/ and .continue/assistants/. However, this feature is not documented in the documentation.

What needs to be documented

  1. Purpose of .continue/configs/: Explain that YAML files placed in .continue/configs/ (workspace or global) are discovered, watched, and loaded as local profiles.

  2. Directory structure: Document that Continue now supports three directories for local configuration:

    • .continue/agents/ - for agent definitions
    • .continue/assistants/ - for assistant configurations
    • .continue/configs/ - for config profiles (NEW)
  3. File format and usage: Document how to create and use config files in this directory.

  4. Update existing docs: The following docs should be updated to mention .continue/configs/:

    • docs/customize/deep-dives/configuration.mdx
    • docs/guides/understanding-configs.mdx
    • docs/guides/run-agents-locally.mdx (for consistency with the other directories)

Current state

The feature is mentioned only in the ollama-guide.mdx with example paths like ~/.continue/configs/config.yaml, but there's no dedicated documentation explaining the feature.
