Improved workspace search, LaTeX support, and text selection in chat

This update significantly improves how you find and work with information in your workspace. We've enhanced our natural language search to better understand questions about specific timeframes, file types, and workspace activity. Now when you ask things like "what was I writing yesterday?" or "what paper was last viewed?" you'll get much more accurate and helpful results.
We added a new bubble menu that appears when you select text anywhere in a chat. Click the “Chat” button to quickly quote the selection in a new message.
For researchers working with mathematical content, we've introduced full LaTeX support throughout the editor and chat, so you can write and render equations more easily. Mathematical expressions now display properly everywhere in Anara, from your notes to your conversations.
We also refreshed our website to showcase the latest updates we made to Anara across agents and table view.
