Description
### Describe the bug
`copilot plugin marketplace add` reports success, but the marketplace registration is never persisted anywhere on disk. A subsequent `copilot plugin marketplace list` (even in the same command chain / immediately after) does not show the newly added marketplace, and `copilot plugin marketplace browse ` fails with `Marketplace "" not found`.
This reproduces both for a **local directory** marketplace and a **GitHub-hosted** marketplace, so it does not appear to be specific to local-path or git-auth handling (unlike #4103).
### Environment
- GitHub Copilot CLI: 1.0.74 (latest at time of filing)
- OS: Windows 11 (PowerShell 7 / native)
- Marketplace manifest: valid `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json` at repo root (per docs, this location is supported)
### Steps to reproduce
```powershell
# Local directory marketplace with a valid .claude-plugin/marketplace.json
copilot plugin marketplace add C:\Git\Agentic
copilot plugin marketplace list
copilot plugin marketplace browse company-skills
```
```powershell
# Also reproduces with a GitHub-hosted marketplace
copilot plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-code
copilot plugin marketplace list
```
### Actual result
```
Marketplace "company-skills" added successfully.
```
...but `copilot plugin marketplace list` afterward only shows the two built-in marketplaces:
```
Included with GitHub Copilot:
- copilot-plugins (GitHub: github/copilot-plugins)
- awesome-copilot (GitHub: github/awesome-copilot)
```
And:
```
Fetching plugins from marketplace "company-skills"...
Failed to browse marketplace: Error: Marketplace "company-skills" not found
```

Confirmed via `Compare-Object` of a full recursive file listing under `~/.copilot`, `%LOCALAPPDATA%`, and `%APPDATA%` before/after running `add` — **no files are created or modified** anywhere as a result of the command, despite the CLI reporting success.
### Expected result
`copilot plugin marketplace add` should persist the marketplace registration so that a subsequent `list`/`browse` in a new process reflects it, matching the documented behavior in https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/copilot-cli/customize-copilot/plugins-finding-installing.
### Additional context
Possibly related to #3403 (`~/.copilot/config.json` being overwritten/reset on session start, dropping previously-written keys like `hooks`) — if marketplace registrations are also expected to live in `config.json`, the same overwrite-on-start bug could explain why the registration never survives past the single `add` invocation.

Commencez par les points d’entrée de la CLI pour `plugin marketplace add`, `list` et `browse`, puis inspectez l’emplacement de persistance, notamment le chemin possible `~/.copilot/config.json` et le manifeste `.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`. Reproduisez le problème à la fois avec des exemples provenant d’un répertoire local et avec des exemples hébergés sur GitHub ; le travail est terminé lorsque l’enregistrement persiste dans un nouveau processus et apparaît dans `list` et `browse`.
