Two new internal message types for instructions and prompt snapshots are excluded from history search.

Two new attachment/message types, "instructions" and "prompt_snapshot", were added to several allowlists/exclusion-lists used when building the conversation for the model and when computing embeddings, alongside existing types like "session_context" and "date". Both are filtered out of the message list used for similarity/history search.
