docs: add CodeWhale support (AGENTS.md native reader, zero setup)
CodeWhale reads AGENTS.md from project root per its CONFIGURATION.md — ponytail already works with no adapter file needed. Added dedicated install section, agent count bump (13→14), and portability table row. Also adds Zed to the grouped instruction-only adapter list (same mechanism: reads AGENTS.md natively).

It reuses this repo's `gemini-extension.json`. One difference: Antigravity converts the `/ponytail` commands into skills, so you type them into the chat (e.g. `/ponytail-review` as a message) instead of picking them from a slash menu. Until the migration completes (around June 18, 2026), `gemini extensions install` still works too. To run it as an always-on rule instead, drop the ruleset into `.agents/rules/`.
