     * Retrieves the names of all context fields defined in the service,

     * This method is part of the abstract base class for context services.
     * Each subclass defines a specific set of properties that are managed
     * through methods such as `updateProperty` and `onPropertyChanged`.
     *
     * This method generically collects all string-typed values defined in the subclass,
     * under the assumption that all such values represent valid context property names.
     * It assumes that:
     * - Subclasses will only define properties related to the context (i.e., no extra fields).
     * - These properties are managed entirely by the base service logic.
     *
     * While this design simplifies property management and change detection,
     * it is a known limitation that it does not strictly enforce property scoping.
     * It may inadvertently include properties that are not intended for context management
     * if subclasses define unrelated string values.
     *
     * **Note**: This approach is a temporary solution and will be deprecated once
     * all pages are migrated away from AngularJS. At that point, this generic behavior
     * will be replaced with more explicit and type-safe mechanisms.
     *
     * Subclasses may override this method if they wish to manually control
     * which context fields are exposed for subscription.
