feat: comprehensive MCP client debug enhancements and voice collaboration 
Adds revolutionary features for MCP client identification and browser automation:

MCP Client Debug System:
- Floating pill toolbar with client identification and session info
- Theme system with 5 built-in themes (minimal, corporate, hacker, glass, high-contrast)
- Custom theme creation API with CSS variable overrides
- Cross-site validation ensuring toolbar persists across navigation
- Session-based injection with persistence across page loads

Voice Collaboration (Prototype):
- Web Speech API integration for conversational browser automation
- Bidirectional voice communication between AI and user
- Real-time voice guidance during automation tasks
- Documented architecture and future development roadmap

Code Injection Enhancements:
- Model collaboration API for notify, prompt, and inspector functions
- Auto-injection and persistence options
- Toolbar integration with code injection system

Documentation:
- Comprehensive technical achievement documentation
- Voice collaboration architecture and implementation guide
- Theme system integration documentation
- Tool annotation templates for consistency

This represents a major advancement in browser automation UX, enabling
unprecedented visibility and interaction patterns for MCP clients.

Voice Collaboration System

Overview

This is the world's first conversational browser automation framework, enabling real-time voice communication between AI and humans during web automation tasks. This revolutionary system transforms traditional silent automation into interactive, spoken collaboration.

🎯 Vision

Instead of watching silent browser automation, users experience:

  • AI narrating actions: "Now I'm clicking the search button..."
  • Real-time updates: "Success! Found the article you requested"
  • Interactive prompts: "What credentials should I use for login?"
  • Voice confirmations: Get spoken feedback during complex workflows
