Adds navigator assistant

- updates to workbench-service and ConversationContext to allow
  assistants to query the available assistant services
- assistant services advertise their descriptions for the navigator
  service, by providing a special key in their metadata
- the descriptions for the project-assistant, codespace-assistant,
  and document-assistant have been created and are advertised by the
  respective services

Additionally:
- includes the full message object in the debug panel, in addition to
  the debug data (so you can see the message type and other metadata)

+# Document Assistant
+
+## Overview
+
+The Document Assistant is an AI assistant focused on document creation and editing within the Semantic Workbench. It provides a seamless environment for creating, editing, and managing Markdown documents with side-by-side editing capabilities, guided assistance, and integration with external tools.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Side-by-side document editing**: Work on your documents with a split view showing both the editor and conversation, enabling real-time collaboration and feedback.
+- **Document management**: Create, view, and edit multiple Markdown documents within the same workspace.
+- **Generated UI elements**: Get visual guidance through dynamically generated UI components that help organize your document workflow.
+- **Autonomous tool execution**: The assistant can perform document-related tasks on your behalf, freeing you to focus on content creation.
+- **MCP server integration**: Connects with Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers for extended functionality, particularly the filesystem and filesystem-edit servers.
+- **Local-only Office integration**: Optional integration with Microsoft Office applications through MCP (when enabled).
+
+## How to Use the Document Assistant
+
+### Getting Started
+
+1. **Create a new conversation** in the Semantic Workbench and add the Document Assistant.
+2. **Create a new document** by asking the assistant to create one for you. Example: "Create a new document about project requirements."
+3. **Edit existing documents** by mentioning the document you want to work on. The document will appear in the side panel editor.
+
+### Document Management
+
+- **Switch between documents**: Use the Documents tab in the inspector panel to see all available documents and switch between them.
+- **Edit document content**: Make changes directly in the document editor panel, or ask the assistant to make specific edits for you.
+- **Upload files**: Upload Markdown files to add them to your workspace, making them available for editing.
+
+### Advanced Features
+
+- **Format documents**: Ask the assistant to format your document, create sections, add lists, tables, or other Markdown elements.
+- **Collaborative editing**: The document locking mechanism ensures that only one editing operation happens at a time, preventing conflicts.
+- **Document transformations**: Request content transformations like summarization, expansion, or style changes.
+
+## Integration with Other Tools
+
+When configured, the Document Assistant can work with:
+
+- **MCP filesystem server**: For reading and writing files in the workspace.
+- **MCP filesystem-edit server**: For advanced document editing capabilities.
+- **Office integration**: When enabled, allows working with Microsoft Office documents.
+- **Additional MCP servers**: Can be enabled for search, research, and other extended features.
+
+## Tips for Effective Use
+
+1. **Be specific in your requests**: Clearly state what changes you want to make to documents.
+2. **Use the document editor for quick edits**: Make direct changes in the editor for smaller modifications.
+3. **Ask the assistant for complex transformations**: Let the AI handle more complex document restructuring or content generation.
+4. **Switch between documents as needed**: Use the Documents tab to manage multiple files in your workspace.
+5. **Save often**: While documents are automatically saved, it's a good practice to confirm important changes.
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+- Creating technical documentation and reports
+- Drafting and editing business documents
+- Organizing research notes and findings
+- Creating structured content like tutorials or guides
+- Collaborative document editing and review
+
+The Document Assistant is designed to be intuitive and helpful for all users, making document creation and editing a more efficient and guided experience.
