+Fix workflow tool display bug - always send tool message to webview even when auto-execute is enabled
+
+
+When AUTO_EXECUTE_WORKFLOW experiment is enabled, the workflow tool message was created in the backend but never sent to the webview. This caused the workflow UI to not appear. The fix ensures that the tool message is always sent to the webview via task.ask() regardless of the auto-execute setting, so users can see what workflow is being executed.

+Fix translation key mismatch for workflow access experimental setting
+
+Changed translation key from RUN_SLASH_COMMAND to AUTO_EXECUTE_WORKFLOW to match the experiment constant. Updated name from "Enable model-initiated slash commands" to "Enable workflow access" and description to better reflect the feature's actual behavior of accessing workflow content without approval.
