release: bump to v4.43.0

* feat: add Augment Code IDE support with multi-location installation options

- Add Augment Code to supported IDE list in installer CLI and interactive prompts
- Configure multi-location setup for Augment Code commands:
  - User Commands: ~/.augment/commands/bmad/ (global, user-wide)
  - Workspace Commands: ./.augment/commands/bmad/ (project-specific, team-shared)
- Update IDE configuration with proper location handling and tilde expansion
- Add interactive prompt for users to select installation locations
- Update documentation in bmad-kb.md to include Augment Code in supported IDEs
- Implement setupAugmentCode method with location selection and file installation

This enables BMAD Method integration with Augment Code's custom command system,
allowing users to access BMad agents via /agent-name slash commands in both
global and project-specific contexts.

* Added options to choose the rule locations

* Update instruction to match with namespace for commands

* Update instruction to match with namespace for commands

* Renamed Augment Code to Auggie CLI (Augment Code)

-#### Codex (CLI & Web)
-
-- Two modes are supported:
-  - Codex (local only): `npx bmad-method install -f -i codex -d .` — keeps `.bmad-core/` ignored via `.gitignore` for local development.
-  - Codex Web Enabled: `npx bmad-method install -f -i codex-web -d .` — ensures `.bmad-core/` is tracked (not ignored) so it can be committed for Codex Web.
-- For Codex Web, commit both `.bmad-core/` and `AGENTS.md` to the repository.
-- Codex CLI: run `codex` at your project root; reference agents naturally, e.g., “As dev, implement …”.
-- Codex Web: open your repo in Codex and prompt the same way — it reads `AGENTS.md` automatically.
-- Refresh after changes: rerun the appropriate install command (`codex` or `codex-web`) to regenerate the BMAD section inside `AGENTS.md`.
-
-If a `package.json` exists in your project, the installer will add helpful scripts:
-
-- `bmad:refresh` → `bmad-method install -f -i codex`
-- `bmad:list` → `bmad-method list:agents`
-- `bmad:validate` → `bmad-method validate`

 ## Creating Your Own Expansion Pack
 
-### Step 1: Define Your Domain
-
-What expertise are you capturing? What problems will it solve?
-
-### Step 2: Design Your Agents
-
-Each agent should have:
-
-- Clear expertise area
-- Specific personality traits
-- Defined capabilities
-- Knowledge boundaries
-
-### Step 3: Create Tasks
-
-Tasks should be:
-
-- Step-by-step procedures
-- Reusable across scenarios
-- Clear and actionable
-- Domain-specific
-
-### Step 4: Build Templates
-
-Templates need:
-
-- Structured output format
-- Embedded LLM instructions
-- Placeholders for customization
-- Professional formatting
-
-### Step 5: Test & Iterate
-
-- Use with real scenarios
-- Gather user feedback
-- Refine agent responses
-- Improve task clarity
-
-### Step 6: Package & Share
-
-- Create clear documentation
-- Include usage examples
-- Add to expansion-packs directory
-- Share with community
-
-## The Future of Expansion Packs
-
-### Marketplace Potential
-
-Imagine a future where:
-
-- Professional expansion packs are sold
-- Certified packs for regulated industries
-- Community ratings and reviews
-- Automatic updates and improvements
-
-### AI Agent Ecosystems
-
