Let direct chat launchers open disappearing chats (#967)

 ## Structure
 - `ASSISTANT` is the root table. Every assistant requires `Title` and `Description`.
 - Form assistants additionally require `SystemPrompt`, `SubmitText`, `AllowProfiles`, and a nested `UI` definition.
-- Direct chat launchers instead require `LaunchBehavior = "OPEN_WORKSPACE_CHAT_BY_NAME"` and `WorkspaceName`. AI Studio stops reading the form-only fields as soon as a launch behavior is active, so older launchers that still carry them keep working.
+- Direct chat launchers instead require a `LaunchBehavior`: either `"OPEN_WORKSPACE_CHAT_BY_NAME"` together with a `WorkspaceName`, or `"OPEN_TEMPORARY_CHAT"` for a chat that belongs to no workspace. AI Studio stops reading the form-only fields as soon as a launch behavior is active, so older launchers that still carry them keep working.
 - `ToolIds` is optional for both kinds and names the tools the assistant runs with, such as `{"web_search"}`. When present, it must list at least one unique, non-empty tool ID; omit the field instead of writing an empty list. For a form assistant, naming tools takes the choice away from users: the tool selection disappears, and the assistant always runs with exactly these tools. For a launcher, the tools are merely preselected and users may change them once the chat is open. Naming a tool is a wish, not a permission: a tool switched off in the settings stays off, one whose settings are incomplete cannot run, and every tool still has to meet the confidence requirements of the provider in use. A tool ID unknown to the installation is skipped.
 - `DEPLOYED_USING_CONFIG_SERVER` identifies who manages the assistant plugin. Set it to `false` for locally managed plugins. A missing field is also treated as local for compatibility with existing plugins. Enterprise-distributed plugins must set it to `true` and cannot be revised with AI in AI Studio.
 - `AI_STUDIO_ASSISTANT_BUILDER = {Generated = true, SchemaVersion = 1}` is reserved for plugins generated by the AI Studio Assistant Builder. It enables Builder-specific actions such as safe deletion and must not be added to manually authored or enterprise-distributed assistants. Newly generated Builder assistants always set `DEPLOYED_USING_CONFIG_SERVER = false` explicitly.

+A launcher without a workspace uses the other behavior and omits `WorkspaceName`. Every optional chat selection shown above works here as well:
+
+```lua
+ASSISTANT = {
+    ["Title"] = "Quick Question",
+    ["Description"] = "Open a disappearing chat with your research profile.",
+    ["LaunchBehavior"] = "OPEN_TEMPORARY_CHAT",
+    ["ProfileId"] = "22222222-2222-2222-2222-222222222222", -- optional
+}
+```
+
 - `WorkspaceName` is resolved case-insensitively after trimming.
 - If the workspace does not exist yet, AI Studio creates it automatically.
+- Use `OPEN_TEMPORARY_CHAT` when the chat needs no home of its own, for instance, a quick start that only preselects a profile and a few data sources. AI Studio then opens the same disappearing chat the chat page offers: it is kept apart from the workspaces and cleaned up according to the workspace maintenance settings of the installation.
+- `OPEN_TEMPORARY_CHAT` must not carry a `WorkspaceName`. A name next to it stops the plugin from loading rather than being ignored, so a leftover or mistyped name cannot silently turn a workspace launcher into a disappearing one.
 - Omitted optional IDs use the chat defaults active when the tile is opened. An explicit empty GUID selects no profile or no chat template; an empty provider or data-source GUID is invalid.
 - `ProviderId` overrides both the chat-specific and app-wide default provider. It must name a provider that is permitted for chats at the required confidence level.
 - Explicit data sources are enabled and manually preselected, automatic source selection is disabled, and the normal automatic-validation setting is retained. Every referenced source must currently be available and permitted for the effective provider.
