fix: serve in-process on FUSE/virtiofs where Unix sockets are unusable

 ### Fixes
 
+- CodeGraph now detects FUSE/virtiofs mounts (such as Windows drives shared into a Linux container) and serves in-process with auto-sync instead of spawning a shared daemon whose Unix socket cannot be reached on that filesystem, which previously left the index without live updates and orphaned background processes. The interactive installer also refuses to run without a terminal instead of hanging forever, so an MCP host that launches `codegraph` without `serve --mcp` no longer stalls.
+
 - In VB.NET, every member of a `Structure` is now indexed, including its fields, properties, methods, constructors and nested enums. Before, only the first member was, so the rest could not be found and their callers looked empty.
 - In VB.NET and C#, what a property's `Get` and `Set` code calls, creates and reads now belongs to that property, as do C#'s `get => …` accessors and `=> …` property bodies. Before, it was dropped, so a method used only from a property looked unused.
 - In VB.NET, a field or property initializer like `= Compute()` or `As New List(Of Order)` now links what it calls and creates, and so do a `Custom Event`'s `AddHandler`, `RemoveHandler` and `RaiseEvent` blocks. Re-index VB.NET and C# projects after upgrading.
