`/simplify` command renamed to `/code-review` in v2.1.146 with configurable effort levels. Includes fixes for Windows PowerShell execution, Terminal strobing, and MCP pagination.

Why it matters: Command rename: `/code-review` replaces `/simplify`. Windows users affected by PowerShell/Terminal regressions should update immediately. MCP pagination bugs are fixed.
