feat: enhance instruction generator with step bead highlighting and multi-step support

AbacusInstructionGenerator:
- Add stepBeadHighlights generation for progressive instruction support
- Implement generateStepBeadMapping for step-by-step bead coordination
- Add comprehensive multi-step instruction generation
- Support for totalSteps and step indexing
- Enhanced pedagogical decomposition with proper step breakdown

Tests:
- Add comprehensive test coverage for instruction generator enhancements
- Test step bead highlight generation and multi-step workflows

Components:
- Update GuidedAdditionTutorial to use direct place values instead of utilities
- Fix AutoInstructionDemo import paths for styled-system compatibility
- Update TutorialConverter to support new instruction format
