Report Improvements

Enhanced Exposure Logic: The presence of any dependency includes the relevant exposures.

Optimized Report Size: Reduced overall report size.
Complete Test Overview: Reports now feature all tests, including those not yet executed, ensuring full visibility.

Alert Grouping & Thresholds: Alerts are now grouped when they exceed the configured threshold, reducing notification noise.
Modular Alert System: A modular system for constructing alert messages has been introduced, enhancing flexibility and consistency.
Microsoft Teams Adaptive Cards: Alerts sent to Microsoft Teams now use the Adaptive Cards format, providing rich and interactive notifications.
- This update enables users to use Power Automate Workflows to send alerts.
Channel Override Fallback: Alerts now default to a fallback channel if the specified channel is unavailable, ensuring critical notifications are not missed.
Seed Alerts: Model Alerts has been expanded to include seeds.
