Addresses the issue of parallel tool approvals freezing Assistant and
causing UX ambiguity around what happens if only part of multiple
dependent invocations is approved.
Two layers at which this is addressed:
1. Tightens prompt to clarify approval tools must be issued one per
step, not in parallel.
2. In case something slips past the prompt, this also auto-denies all
but the first `approval-required` tool call when the model issues
multiple in the same step, so the model is forced to reissue them
sequentially.
**Demo**
The following chats demo me explicitly asking Assistant to run those
approval-gated tools in parallel, and the Assistant correctly invokes
them sequentially instead.
| Parallel `execute_sql` request | Parallel `deploy_edge_function`
request |

As shown in [this
trace](https://www.braintrust.dev/app/supabase.io/p/Assistant/trace?object_type=project_logs&object_id=5a8d02e5-b3b6-40cc-ba76-ecee286478f4&r=a3a37857-95df-4a95-a5a8-818ea305b2a5&s=a3a37857-95df-4a95-a5a8-818ea305b2a5),
parallel tool calls are still allowed for context gathering tools that
don't require approval:

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **Improvements**
* Approval-required operations are now processed sequentially rather
than in parallel within the AI Assistant.
* **Tests**
* Added comprehensive test coverage for the parallel approval prevention
logic.
<!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
* update onboarding
* update model and fix part issue
* action orientated assistant
* fix tool
* lock
* remove unused filter
* fix tests
* fix again
* update package
* update container
* fix tests
* refactor(ai assistant): break out message markdown and profile picture
* wip
* refactor(ai assistant): break up message component
* refactor: break ai assistant message down into multiple files
* refactor: simplify ReportBlock state
* fix: styling of draggable report block header
When the drag handle is showing, it overlaps with the block header.
Decrease the opacity of the header so the handle can be seen and the two
can be distinguished.
* fix: minor tweaks to tool ui
* refactor: simplify DisplayBlockRenderer state
* fix: remove double deploy button in edge function block
When the confirm footer is shown, the deploy button on the top right should be
hidden (not just disabled) to avoid confusion.
* refactor, test: message sanitization by opt-in level
Refactor the message sanitization to have more type safety and be more testable.
Add tests to ensure:
- Message sanitization always runs on generate-v4
- Message sanitization correctly works by opt-in level
* Fix conflicts in pnpm lock
* Couple of nits and refactors
* Revert casing for report block snippet
* adjust sanitised prompt
* Fix tests
