Pull Request Overview

Updates the SelectPanel component's default empty state message to be more generic and applicable across different use cases. The change removes the assumption that users are creating items and instead provides a neutral "No items available" message.

• Replace specific "You haven't created any items yet" message with generic "No items available"
• Remove descriptive text to make the message more universally applicable
• Update all related tests and documentation to reflect the new default message
