Workbench sub-page: add Research and Development section after Deployment

Types

- Lead paragraph with the prior-ecosystem components list (Context Brokerage,
  Inference Brokerage, Conversation Brokerage, Agent Hosts, Meta-Programming
  Engineering Teams, Digital Content Generators, Policy-Based File Servers,
  Vector and Graph Knowledge Management, Agentic Monitoring and Observability,
  Agentic CI/CD)
- Two short lists: concepts applied in Workbench vs concepts beyond it
  (context engineering, agentic memory, metacognition, conversation as
  protocol + collective memory)

+    <p>Workbench's principles came out of building multiple agentic ecosystems before it &mdash; agent-managed services working in team formats. Components of those fully custom-built ecosystems include Context Brokerage, Inference Brokerage, Conversation Brokerage, Agent Hosts, Meta-Programming Engineering Teams, Digital Content Generators, Policy-Based File Servers, Vector and Graph Knowledge Management, Agentic Monitoring and Observability, and Agentic CI/CD. Several case studies and concept papers document the journey: the possibilities of meta-coding through agentic teams, the efficacy of cross-model quorums, and the principles of ecosystems built from teams of full agents.</p>
