Subject: [PATCH] feat: update SDD rebranding, storage migration, and extension
 conflict handling

- Renamed 'Conductor' to 'Spec-Driven Development (SDD)'.
- Migrated artifact storage to '.gemini/specs/'.
- Updated commands to '/spec <action>'.
- Added Plan Mode and SDD workflow notes to README.
- Replaced automatic extension migration with a warning prompt to preserve user files.
- Added .gitignore exemption for .gemini/specs/ in setup.
