Descripción

**Describe the bug**
When attempting to trigger a GitHub Actions workflow located in a git submodule (e.g., `host/.github/workflows/deploy.yml`), the extension fails with a 404 "Not Found" error. The extension incorrectly attempts to dispatch the workflow to the parent repository instead of the submodule's separate GitHub repository.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Have a git repository with a submodule that has its own separate GitHub repository
2. The submodule contains GitHub Actions workflows in `.github/workflows/`
3. Open the workflow file in VSCode
4. Right-click and select "Trigger Run" or use the GitHub Actions explorer
5. See error: `404 Not Found` or similar repository not found error

**Expected behavior**
The extension should:
1. Detect that the workflow is located in a git submodule
2. Identify the correct GitHub repository for that submodule
3. Dispatch the workflow to the correct repository, not the parent

**Screenshots**
The error appears in the VSCode debug console when attempting to dispatch a workflow in the web submodule:

**Extension Version**
`v0.31.5`

**Additional context**
This occurs in monorepo setups where submodules are separate GitHub repositories with their own workflows.
```
monorepo/ (Parent repo: github.com/owner/monorepo)
└── submodule/ (Submodule: github.com/owner/submodule)
└── .github/workflows/
└── deploy.yml ← Should dispatch to submodule repo
```

The extension's workflow dispatch logic needs to be aware of git submodules and route dispatch requests to the appropriate repository.

Línea de trabajo

Reproduce el fallo con un repositorio principal que contenga un workflow de submodule en .github/workflows/deploy.yml, usando Trigger Run o el explorador de GitHub Actions. Sigue la ruta de workflow-dispatch y cómo se identifica el repositorio del archivo abierto. Se considera completado cuando el dispatch apunta al repositorio de submodule y el 404 ya no se produce.
