Submissions Guide Updates, Features Guide, AI Documentation Assistant & OpenAPI 1.9.0

This release updates Submissions documentation in the Developer Console to align with the automatic GitHub PR creation workflow and document automatic metadata population when a Pull Request (PR) is created in the private repository. Feature documentation is separated from the Widgets guide into a dedicated Features guide. The documentation site also introduces the AI Documentation Assistant, available from the Ask button in the navigation bar. This release also syncs the Candescent DI API reference to specification version 1.9.0 - including updates to the Customer Campaigns — Experience Groups subcategory.

You can view the OpenAPI specification in the public GitHub repository candescent-dev/openapi.
