Subject: [PATCH] feat: add empty IDE selection warning and promote Antigravity
 to recommended

- Add persistent warning loop when no tools selected in installer
- Users must press spacebar to select, not just highlight
- Red warning explains the issue and offers to go back
- Only way to proceed without tools is explicit "No" confirmation
- Promote Google Antigravity to preferred/recommended IDE section
