説明
### Summary
Requesting a way to export the Automations list to a plain JSON file (and import from one), so automations can be version-controlled, backed up, and shared/restored across machines - similar to how other app config (MCP servers, permissions, settings) is already stored as flat JSON under `~/.copilot/`.
### Motivation
Automations currently live only inside the app's internal SQLite store (`data.db`), with no export path. This makes it hard to:
- Back up or restore automations independent of full app state
- Version-control automation definitions alongside a repo/dotfiles setup
- Migrate automations to a new machine
Issue #1643 shows what happens without this: a user hit a `data.db` schema-version mismatch during a downgrade and had no way to recover automations short of deleting the whole database and losing session history with it.
### Proposed solution
- "Export automations to JSON" / "Import automations from JSON" actions in the Automations UI, or
- A flat, human-editable automations file (mirroring how `mcp-config.json`/`settings.json`/`permissions-config.json` already work) that the app reads on startup, so power users can hand-edit and symlink it into version control
### Additional context
Related to the scheduling limitations raised in #2130 - a config-as-code path would also make it easier to share/reuse automation definitions across teams or repos.

調査の方向性
Start by comparing the existing flat JSON configuration files under ~/.copilot/—including mcp-config.json, settings.json, and permissions-config.json—with automation storage in data.db. Define whether export/import actions in the Automations UI or a startup-loaded file is the intended path, then verify that automation definitions can be backed up, restored, edited, and moved between machines without affecting session history.
