Workflows are now standalone .md files in workflows/ — no subfolders or README.md needed. Each file contains both the metadata frontmatter (name, description, triggers, tags) and the agentic workflow definition (on, permissions, safe-outputs) in a single file. Updated all build scripts, CI workflows, docs, and review checklists. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
