This is a type used in Stencila Schema for the user- or system-authored message associated with an Instruction.

It exists so instruction input can include structured parts such as text and media, rather than being limited to a plain string. This aligns instruction workflows with the richer messaging model used elsewhere in Stencila.

Key properties include structured message parts and any metadata needed for prompt rendering or model interaction.
