Description

Readers can ask a question from any docs page and get an answer from FlowFuse Expert without leaving the page. This adds the floating Ask Docs button, the question box on the docs home and the conversation modal.

It cannot ship yet: expert.flowfuse.com/v4/expert still sends anonymous requests to sign-in, so it needs that backend change first. It is stacked on #5866 and has no deploy preview until that merges.

Related Issue(s)

This PR depends on engineering. To be discussed

Ask Docs, the docs home question box and the conversation modal all run
on ai-expert-modal.js, which the Eleventy retirement removed from src/js.
It comes back as nuxt/public/js/ai-expert-modal.js, the /js/ path
useDocsExpert already loads, in the version this branch last edited. The
nuxt/.gitignore line that treated it as a leftover build output goes, and
the comments that pointed at src/js point here.

The endpoint the script calls answers anonymous requests with a redirect
to sign-in, so the conversation still needs the backend side before this
can ship.
