v0.40.1 - 2026-02-03

Move from githubnext/gh-aw to github/gh-aw

If you were a former user of the githubnext Agentic Workflows you might have to re-register the extension to reflect the new location. As the gh-aw project moved from githubnext to github please delete the old channel and register the new one.

gh aw  github/gh-aw  v0.40.1
