- Restructure RecipeFields.js to show Advanced Options as a collapsible section containing Activities, Parameters, Model/Provider, Extensions, and Response JSON Schema (matching the actual Desktop UI) - Remove redundant Advanced Options section from session-recipes.md since RecipeFields now accurately represents the UI structure

The recipe-reference.md is a technical reference for YAML/JSON schema, not a Desktop UX guide. The note about UI updates doesn't belong here.
