Preserve user work when toggling research template and update system prompt

- Modified toggle_research_assistant() to preserve user's existing field values when disabling template
- Added current field values as function parameters to prevent data loss
- Updated research template system prompt to emphasize DOI-verified academic sources
- Added LibKey.io reference for DOI cross-reference validation
- Enhanced preview chat with real OpenRouter API integration and URL context testing
- Added conversation export functionality to generated spaces and preview mode
- Improved template preservation ensures users can safely toggle without losing work
