Datasette Agent adds browser JavaScript execution, enhancing Datasette Apps

Datasette Agent version 0.4a0 introduces a new `context.browser_task()` mechanism, enabling agent tools to execute custom JavaScript directly within the user's browser. This capability is then utilized in Datasette Apps version 0.2a0 with the `app_debug()` tool, which uses JavaScript within a sandboxed iframe to test and measure application elements. AI
