Conversational AI assistant in the SQL Editor

This was previously behind a feature flag but we're now making this available by default, which will replace the existing single prompt UI that you saw previously at the top of the SQL editor. Once again, thank you all so much for the feedback that you've left us - we really appreciate them and they definitely do help in guiding us towards the ideal dashboard experience for everyone. 🙂🙏

We're also aware that the feature preview functionality is missing in the local set up - rest assured we're looking into it and hope to get a fix out soon for everyone!

A step towards slightly more contextual error messages

A topic that came up in one of our discussions internally was regarding self-serviceability, and we realised that our error messages could do a much better job than just informing users what the error is about - especially when their errors from Postgres directly and the messages could be slightly cryptic for those not familiar with Postgres (yet 😉). The PR linked here is just a small idea and example for what we plan to do with error messages in the future, by giving users more context about the errors like possible solutions and links to relevant documentation. Hopefully this will make using the dashboard slightly more easier 🙂
