Artifacts get a live-room join option and clearer rules for when to use "open" versus publish/create

What

The description text for artifact tools (used for things like documents, slides, or interactive content generated during a session) now covers a new room declaration: joining an artifact's live room means viewer page events arrive back as notifications, and any outbound sends from the artifact need approval first.

  • The guidance also tightens when the open action should be used versus when a publish or create call has already displayed the artifact, to avoid redundant opens.
  • It adds a note that a slide deck built for email or as an attachment, when made from the Slides type, downloads as a .pptx or PDF file.
Why

This gives the artifact tools clearer rules for interactive, live-updating artifacts and for exporting a deck in a usable file format, reducing confusion about which action to call when.
