List the plugin, theme and WordPress updates waiting on all my connected sites, asking each site again now, with the current and new version of each. Group them by site and point out any big version jumps. Leave out [WordPress itself and any theme updates] for now. Prepare one run that updates only [the plugins] and ask me to approve it. Once I have approved, check the run until it finishes and tell me site by site what was updated, and where it stopped if it did.

What happens
- The AI assistant asks every connected site for the plugin, theme and WordPress updates waiting, with old and new versions.
- It prepares one run with the updates you chose and asks for your approval.
- You approve the whole plan with a 6-digit code as an extra check that it's really you.
- Mitos updates one site at a time, checks each site after every change and stops at the first problem.
- The AI assistant follows the run and reports each site's steps.
