Summary by cubic

Documented .continue/configs/ for local config profiles and auto-discovery from workspace and global .continue/configs/, .continue/agents/, and .continue/assistants/ (includes Windows %USERPROFILE% paths). Added that each YAML file becomes a selectable profile in the config selector, uses the config.yaml schema, auto-reloads on create/edit/delete, and included a sample directory tree; addresses #12469.
