or any additional comments/features here

 ## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
  Updated links in:
    - src/modules/cmdpal/Microsoft.CmdPal.UI/Settings/GeneralPage.xaml
    - src/modules/cmdpal/extensionsdk/README.md

Note: The issue proposes linking directly to “Command Palette /
Developer Docs / Extensibility overview” on
Learn. I noticed the project often uses fwlink/aka.ms redirects instead
of direct Learn URLs. If creating a
redirect is preferred (or if I can create one), let me know and I’ll
update the links accordingly.

<!-- Describe how you validated the behavior. Add automated tests
wherever possible, but list manual validation
  steps taken as well -->
  ## Validation Steps Performed
Manually verified that the links resolve to the Microsoft Learn Command
Palette extensibility overview.
