Summary of Changes

Hello @skeshive, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on a terminology update within the Gemini CLI IDE Companion Specification document. The primary goal is to enhance clarity and consistency by systematically replacing all instances of the word 'extension' with 'plugin'. This ensures that the documentation uses a more universally understood term for IDE integrations, thereby reducing potential ambiguity for developers.

Highlights

  • Terminology Update: The term 'extension' has been consistently replaced with 'plugin' throughout the docs/ide-companion-spec.md document.
  • Improved Clarity: This change aims to avoid confusion and provide more precise terminology for components integrating with the Gemini CLI's IDE mode.

This pull request updates the terminology in the IDE companion specification, replacing most instances of 'extension' with 'plugin' to improve clarity and reduce confusion. The changes are applied consistently across the document. The term 'extension' is correctly retained where it refers specifically to the official VS Code implementation, which is appropriate. The changes are well-executed and improve the documentation.
