Added async NotebookLM slide-deck generation with new wowerpoint skill

v13.2.0 introduces a new `wowerpoint` skill that creates slide-deck-only NotebookLM PDFs from one source document, running generation as a background sub-agent flow so the main conversation is not blocked for the ~10 minute render window.

What is Different

Before

Scattered source updates, isolated context, and manual follow-up across multiple feeds.

Now

Introduces a concrete new capability: a dedicated slide-deck generation skill that enforces a single-source input workflow, applies a preset NotebookLM detailed format prompt, and completes rendering in a background agent with completion notification when the PDF is written.

Why Track This

Why It Matters

For users and operators of claude-mem, long-running slide-deck exports no longer freeze the interactive flow, so they can continue working in the same conversation while the PDF is still rendering and receive the file once ready. The change matters for operators because it shifts generation off the foreground path using a subagent completion pattern, but it also shifts reliability risk to the external toolchain (e.g., `notebooklm-py`, `playwright install chromium`, `jq`) and to the enforced single-source requirement; keep watching setup failures, generation timeout behavior, and whether users are forced into lower-quality outputs when they previously expected multi-source deck assembly.

What To Watch Next

  • Watch whether wowerpoint becomes a repeated pattern.
  • Track follow-up changes around AI Presentation and Office Content Tools.
  • Compare future signals against this evidence trail.
  • Re-check risk flags: missing_notebooklm_py_dependency, playwright_chromium_not_installed.
