Description

### What would you like to happen?

It would be great to have an option to add a description alongside the environment JSON file; it makes it easier to understand the purpose of the file and the variables it contains. Another idea would be to have a hover-over feature that displays a message showing which variables and values ​​are in that specific file.

Research direction

Locate the Hop GUI code that opens or displays environment JSON files and read how their variables are presented. Clarify whether the scope is a description field, hover-over details, or both; done should include an agreed UI and JSON representation, with tests or manual verification covering the displayed description and variables.
