Where is the git URL? Is this code generated by AI? If so, we have a rule for that: [EGO Review Guidelines: AI](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#extensions-must-not-be-ai-generated)

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to review. The git url is now added to the metadata.json in the latest upload. You can find the repository here - https://github.com/sumitst05/special-workspace Regarding the AI guidelines, yes, I did use an AI assistant to get help understanding the API. However, I have not blindly pasted any generated code. I spent time locally debugging for schema UUID mismatches and fixing the GSettings bindings, and testing it thoroughly. I do fully understand how the used APIs (mostly workspace_manager and Main.wm.addKeybinding) are functioning in this codebase, and I will be committed to maintaining this extension for future GNOME releases. Let me know if there is anything else I need to adjust to get it approved!!
