Three optimizations to reduce Segment event volume without data loss:
1. Remove EXECUTE_ACTION_SUCCESS from plugin action paths (~1.35M/day)
Server execute_ACTION_TRIGGERED is a strict superset with
isSuccessfulExecution, timing, status codes, and full request params.
JS expression SUCCESS events in analyticsSaga.ts are NOT touched
(no server equivalent). All FAILURE events kept (client-only failures
have no server record).
2. Remove DEBUGGER_RESOLVED_ERROR_MESSAGE fan-out where parent fires
(~1.08M/day). In deleteDebuggerErrorLogsSaga and blur handler, the
parent DEBUGGER_RESOLVED_ERROR already carries errorMessages[].
Partial-resolution paths kept untouched.
3. Throttle CUSTOM_WIDGET_API_UPDATE_MODEL with count aggregation
(~500k+/day). Emit once per widget per 60s with { widgetId,
updateCount } instead of per-call. Exact update counts preserved.
Estimated savings: ~2.93M API calls/day on EE (~88M/month, ~35%).
CE sees proportional cut. No MTU impact.
Linear: APP-15946

The Segment warehouse sync for this event has been turned off, so the event was costing ~1.03M API calls/day (~31M/month) with no downstream consumer. Removes the entire data-building block and the sendObjectEvent call in sendExecuteAnalyticsEvent(). Client-side EXECUTE_ACTION (intent) and EXECUTE_ACTION_FAILURE (errors) are still emitted. Re-enabling is a one-line revert if needed. Combined with the prior commit, total EE savings are now ~4M/day (~120M/month, ~48% of EE volume). Linear: APP-15946

Add a trailing flush to preserve every model-update count.
Both implementations emit accumulated updates only when another update arrives after the throttle interval. Pending counts remain unreported if updates stop.

The PR description says that we aren't touching the server-side execute_ACTION_TRIGGERED, but then the second commit removes it (that's seemingly this one). Was this intentional and the PR description is out of date?
