When users enter "." as the installation directory, the web bundles directory
path was not being resolved correctly, causing the bundles to not be copied.
This fix ensures the web bundles directory is resolved using the same logic
as the main installation directory, resolving relative paths from the original
working directory where npx was executed.
- Added optional chaining for newConfig.ide access
- Added ides array to config object in performUpdate
- Fixes 'Cannot read properties of undefined' error after update
- Ensures all required config properties are present for showSuccessMessage
