Remove vendor/kiro-gateway directory and update documentation

- Removed vendor/kiro-gateway submodule/directory as Kiro support is fully integrated into AISBF
- Updated KIRO_GATEWAY.md to reference external GitHub repository (https://github.com/jwadow/kiro-gateway)
- Updated AI.PROMPT to remove vendor directory reference
- Kiro integration remains fully functional through KiroProviderHandler

 ## Prerequisites
 
 Before setting up kiro-gateway with AISBF, ensure you have:
 
 1. **Kiro Credentials**: Either Kiro IDE or kiro-cli configured and authenticated
-2. **Python 3.8+**: Required for running kiro-gateway
+2. **Python 3.10+**: Required for running kiro-gateway
 3. **AISBF Installed**: AISBF should be installed and configured
 4. **Network Access**: Both services should be able to communicate (typically on localhost)
 
 ## Setup Instructions

+2. **Important**: Choose your authentication method:
 
    **Option A: Kiro IDE Authentication**
    - Set `KIRO_AUTH_METHOD=ide`
-   - Set `KIRO_IDE_CONFIG_PATH` to your Kiro IDE config location
-   - Default location: `~/.kiro/config.json`
