Subject: [PATCH] Use explicit \n in installCustomAgentLauncher template string

Replaces multi-line template literal with string concatenation using
explicit \n escape sequences, matching the pattern in transformToSkillFormat.
This ensures consistent line endings regardless of how the source file
is checked out.
