Description
When users type @ in the input, the mention autocomplete list appears, but the item descriptions are very brief and do not explain what will happen after selection (for example, what exact data will be attached or how each mention type should be used).
This makes the feature harder to understand for first-time users because the list shows names and short phrases without enough contextual guidance.

Steps to Reproduce
- Focus the input box.
- Type
@ to open mention autocomplete.
- Review the descriptions shown for mention items (for example:
file, folder, url, git, terminal).
Expected Behavior
Mention items should provide clearer, action-oriented guidance so users understand the result of selecting each item and how to use it effectively.
Actual Behavior
The mention list uses short static descriptions that are often too minimal to explain expected behavior or next steps.
Additional Context
The @ mention autocomplete path is handled in:
src/cortex-tui/src/runner/event_loop/input.rs (AutocompleteTrigger::Mention, then filter_mentions(query)).
src/cortex-tui/src/widgets/autocomplete.rs where mention metadata is hardcoded in MentionType::description() and converted into visible items via MentionType::to_item().
