Simplify UI and auto-enable dynamic URL fetching

- Move title/description to top of Quick Start (single-column)
- Move assistant template to Assistant Instructions section
- Simplify environment variable names: API_KEY, ACCESS_CODE, CONFIG_CODE
- Make Space Secrets Configuration single-column with better descriptions
- Remove Dynamic URL Fetching checkbox - always enabled by default
- Clean up all related function signatures
