Bug Description

The extension/README.md file is being validated by the frontmatter validation workflow even though it uses VS Code marketplace README format and should not require frontmatter. This causes CI failures on PRs that modify this file (e.g., PR #357).

Expected Behavior

extension/README.md should be excluded from frontmatter validation since it follows VS Code marketplace conventions, not the repository's documentation standards.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a PR that modifies extension/README.md
  2. The frontmatter validation job fails with "Files with warnings: 1"
  3. Job exits with code 1 because soft-fail: false and warnings-as-errors: true

Additional Context

The fix is to add extension/README.md to the ExcludePaths array in .github/workflows/frontmatter-validation.yml.
