feat(ideation): enhance model resolution and provider integration

- Updated the ideation service to utilize phase settings for model resolution, improving flexibility in handling model aliases.
- Introduced `getPhaseModelWithOverrides` to fetch model and provider information, allowing for dynamic adjustments based on project settings.
- Enhanced logging to provide clearer insights into the model and provider being used during suggestion generation.

This update streamlines the process of generating suggestions by leveraging phase-specific configurations, ensuring better alignment with user-defined settings.
