Fixes bug #31

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The plugin was writing to the wrong configuration file path on Linux systems, causing Claude Desktop to not recognize the MCP server installation.

Changed Linux config path from:
  ~/.config/claude/config.json

To the correct path:
  ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

This fixes:
- Case-sensitive directory name (claude -> Claude)
- Correct configuration filename (config.json -> claude_desktop_config.json)

This change aligns the Linux configuration path with the expected Claude Desktop configuration location, resolving silent installation failures on Arch Linux, Ubuntu, and Fedora systems.

Note: The path duplication issue also reported in this issue is addressed separately in PR jacksteamdev#36.

- Test macOS Claude config path uses Library/Application Support
- Test Windows Claude config path uses APPDATA
- Test Linux Claude config path uses .config/Claude with capital C
- Test all platforms use claude_desktop_config.json filename
- Test log path conventions for each platform
- Test binary naming conventions (.exe for Windows, no extension for Unix)
- Verify platform-specific path separators (/ vs \)
- Test XDG Base Directory compliance for Linux
- Test Apple directory conventions for macOS
- Test Windows directory conventions
- Replicate CLAUDE_CONFIG_PATH, LOG_PATH, and BINARY_NAME in test file
- Avoids importing from index.ts which triggers macro execution
- Prevents GITHUB_DOWNLOAD_URL environment variable requirement in tests
