📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR converts the embedded nowledge-mem-gemini-cli-extension directory into a separate Git submodule named nowledge-mem-gemini-cli. All related CI workflows are removed, and repository documentation is updated to reflect this structural change.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
GitHub Actions Workflows .github/workflows/release-gemini-extension.yml, .github/workflows/validate-gemini-extension.yml	Deleted CI/CD pipelines that validated and released the Gemini extension on tag events and pull requests.
Repository Configuration .gitmodules, nowledge-mem-gemini-cli, README.md	Added submodule entry for nowledge-mem-gemini-cli and updated public-facing Gemini documentation to reference the new submodule path instead of the embedded extension directory.
Removed Extension Directory nowledge-mem-gemini-cli-extension/...	Deleted entire extension directory including: documentation (README.md, GEMINI.md, CHANGELOG.md, RELEASING.md), command configs (.toml files), hooks (session-start.mjs, session-end.mjs, hooks.json), packaging/validation scripts (package-extension.mjs, validate-extension.mjs), skills documentation, release notes, manifests (gemini-extension.json, package.json), and .gitignore configuration.

Poem

🐰 A submodule hops in, neat and clean,
While old extensions fade from the scene!
From folder to reference, the refactor takes flight,
As dependencies dance in the moonlight. 🌙✨
