v0.1-beta.7 - GO batches + database context sync

Highlights

• Run SQL Server-style GO batches directly in the query editor, including GO n repeat counts and separator-line comments.
• Keep GO inside strings, comments, bracketed identifiers, and quoted identifiers as SQL text instead of splitting it.
• Follow successful USE statements in the database selector without overwriting a database you manually choose while a query is running.
• Keep batch execution, result numbering, cancellation, and large repeat counts safe and responsive.

Maintenance

• Pin frontend and Rust dependencies and add a seven-day Dependabot cooldown with auto-merge for approved updates.
