Show "by @handle" on each canvas extension card and in the details
modal, linking to the contributor's GitHub profile. Author metadata
lives in each extension's canvas.json (and external.json for external
extensions), where the rest of the canvas metadata is stored.
- Store author {name, url} in canvas.json / external.json
- Read author from canvas.json in the website data generator and emit
it to extensions.json
- Render the GitHub @handle, derived from the profile URL, as the link
text, with the contributor's name as the link title
- Escape the sanitized author URL before interpolating it into href

* docs: add canvas extensions learning hub guide
Add a new Learning Hub page for creating and iterating canvas extensions with /create-canvas, including examples and best practices for storage scope and joinSession/createCanvas handlers.
Wire the article into Fundamentals navigation and related Learning Hub pages, and add stable extension card anchors so docs can deep-link to specific entries in the Canvas Extensions listing.

* Add keyword display to extension cards on website
- Add .resource-keywords and .keyword-tag CSS styles for rendering keyword badges
- Update renderExtensionsHtml() to display keywords below extension description
- Keywords now visible on the website extensions page with styled badges
- Regenerate website data to include keyword metadata

* Canvas manifest implementation for all extensions
Add per-extension canvas manifests with:
- Structured canvas metadata (name, description, version, keywords)
- Screenshot definitions (icon and gallery with path/type)
- Relative paths for images within each extension directory
Enhance extension metadata:
- Generate meaningful descriptions from source analysis
- Extract and assign keywords for discoverability
- Store metadata in package.json and extension source files
Update website rendering and data generation:
- Include keywords in extension cards and search index
- Add per-extension canvas.json files for independent evolution
- Support screenshot metadata in manifest structure
- Generate extensions.json with full canonical paths for website
All 9 local canvas extensions now have complete manifests with descriptions, keywords, and screenshot references.

* Tweaking some descriptions
* Fix description priority to prefer package.json over in-source metadata
Reverse the priority in canvasDescription so that package.json descriptions
(which contain the enhanced, manually-curated descriptions) take precedence
over older in-source descriptions extracted from createCanvas(...) calls.
This prevents regression when npm run website:data regenerates outputs,
ensuring that committed canvas.json files maintain the current descriptions.

* Fix canvas validation to skip external.json file
The validation script was treating extensions/external.json as if it were
a directory, causing false validation failures. Added check to skip files
(identified by presence of dot in filename) and only validate actual
canvas extension directories.

Add a new 'Launching Sessions from the Terminal with Deep Links' section to the
GitHub Copilot app overview documentation. This section covers:
- Supported URL schemes (ghapp://, github-app://, gh://)
- session/new route with all supported parameters (repo, branch, pr, prompt, mode)
- Practical examples for common workflows
- Other useful deep links (chats, mywork, workflows, issues, PRs)
- Important limitations (repo-centric focus, local folder restrictions)
This addresses the request from the #github-app Slack channel discussion about
opening ghapp from the terminal for a better development experience.

Adds og:image:width and og:image:height to the global head so LinkedIn
(and friends) reliably render the large preview card instead of a tiny
thumbnail. The image and the rest of the Open Graph tags were already in
good shape, so this is the missing piece. Also adds a website README
documenting how the cards work and the gotchas.

Add documentation for features shipped in Copilot CLI v1.0.40 and
the v1.0.41 prerelease builds that weren't yet covered in the Hub:

attaching images/documents in prompt mode (-p)
- automating-with-hooks.md: extend the prompt mode security callout
to cover the new GITHUB_COPILOT_PROMPT_MODE_EXTENSIONS env var

Document the /compact, /context, and /usage slash commands in the
Copilot Configuration Basics page. These commands were not covered
in the main Learning Hub (outside the separate cli-for-beginners
track), but are broadly useful for interactive and ACP sessions:
- /context: visualize context window token usage
- /usage: display per-session token and API call metrics
- /compact: summarize conversation history to reclaim context space
- Note that all four (/env included) now work in ACP sessions (v1.0.39+)
- Note that ACP clients can toggle allow-all mode via session
configuration without a slash command (v1.0.39+)

- Document ctrl+x → b keyboard shortcut for backgrounding running
tasks (v1.0.39)
