Portals can now override their name, page title and header text per
locale, with a fallback chain of locale override → default locale → base
value. Overrides are stored under portal.config.locale_translations and
validated with a JSON schema.
Editing is exposed as a "Localize content" action in each non-default
locale's menu on the Locale page, and all public-facing portal views
(classic + documentation layouts) render the localized values. The live
chat widget is also loaded in the active portal locale.

## Description
`POST /api/v1/accounts/:account_id/portals` returns a generic 500
(`{"status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error"}`) whenever the request
body omits `custom_domain`. Root cause: `parsed_custom_domain` calls
`URI.parse(@portal.custom_domain)` and `URI.parse(nil)` raises
`URI::InvalidURIError`. Existing callers either had to know to pass
`"custom_domain": ""` as a workaround or hit a 500 with no useful
diagnostic.
This PR guards `parsed_custom_domain` against blank values so the
existing fall-through (`else @portal.custom_domain`) applies —
equivalent to passing an empty string.
It also moves the `process_attached_logo` guard from the helper into the
`create` call site so `create` mirrors `update` (`process_attached_logo
if params[:blob_id].present?`) and avoids an unnecessary signed-blob
lookup on every create that doesn't include a logo.
Fixes#14397
## Type of change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
## How Has This Been Tested?
Two new request specs in
`spec/controllers/api/v1/accounts/portals_controller_spec.rb` covering
the regression:
- `creates portal when custom_domain is omitted from request body` — the
previously-broken case, now returns 200.
- `creates portal when custom_domain is blank` — verifies the existing
workaround (`"custom_domain": ""`) still works after the change.
Manually verified against `chatwoot/chatwoot:latest` Docker image before
the fix (500) and against this branch (200) using the curl repro from
the issue.
```bash
curl -X POST "https://<host>/api/v1/accounts/<account_id>/portals" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "api_access_token: <token>" \
-d '{"name":"Test Portal","slug":"test-portal","color":"#3b82f6"}'
```
Before: `{"status":500,"error":"Internal Server Error"}`
After: `200 OK` with the portal payload.

Updating portal settings (name, header text, page title, homepage link)
on a portal that already has a logo attached returns 500. The error is
\`NoMethodError: undefined method 'valid_encoding?' for an instance of
Integer\`. The fix is a two-character change in
\`process_attached_logo\`.
Closes#13300
## Root cause
\`ActiveStorage::Blob.find_signed\` expects a signed ID string (e.g.
\`"eyJfcmFpbH..."\`). Internally it calls \`valid_encoding?\` on the
argument to validate the signature payload — a method that exists on
\`String\` but not \`Integer\`.
When a portal already has a logo, the frontend includes the blob's raw
database integer ID (e.g. \`blob_id: 170\`) in the update request
payload. The controller passes this integer directly to \`find_signed\`,
which immediately raises \`NoMethodError\` before any database query is
made.
\`\`\`ruby
# before, crashes when blob_id is an Integer
blob_id = params[:blob_id]
blob = ActiveStorage::Blob.find_signed(blob_id) # NoMethodError here
@portal.logo.attach(blob)
\`\`\`
## What changed
\`\`\`ruby
# after, safe for any input type
blob = ActiveStorage::Blob.find_signed(params[:blob_id].to_s)
@portal.logo.attach(blob) if blob
\`\`\`
\`.to_s\` on an Integer produces a plain decimal string (\`"170"\`),
which is not a valid signed ID. \`find_signed\` returns \`nil\` for any
invalid signature rather than raising, so the nil guard prevents a
broken \`attach\` call. The existing logo remains attached and the
settings update succeeds.
## Trade-offs considered
| Option | Decision |
|---|---|
| \`find(blob_id)\` when input is an Integer | Bypasses signature
verification — any authenticated user knowing a blob ID could attach
arbitrary files to a portal. Security risk. Rejected. |
| Raise a 422 for non-string blob_id | Overly strict — the frontend
sending an integer is pre-existing behaviour this PR shouldn't break. |
| Silently no-op for invalid blob_id (chosen) | Correct product
behaviour: if no valid signed upload is provided, leave the logo
unchanged. The settings update still succeeds. |
## Known limitation
The correct long-term fix is also on the frontend: it should only send
\`blob_id\` when attaching a **new** upload (using the signed ID from
the direct-upload flow), not when re-submitting the existing logo's raw
database integer ID. This PR makes the server robust against the current
frontend behaviour without requiring a coordinated frontend change.
## How to reproduce
1. Create a Help Center portal and upload a logo
2. Update any text field via \`PUT /api/v1/accounts/:id/portals/:slug\`
while including \`blob_id: <integer>\` in the payload
3. Observe 500 with \`NoMethodError: undefined method 'valid_encoding?'
for an instance of Integer\`
After this fix, the request returns 200, settings are updated, and the
existing logo is preserved.

This adds a draft status for Help Center locales so teams can prepare
localized content in the dashboard without exposing those locales in the
public portal switcher until they are ready to publish.
Fixes: https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/10412
Closes: https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/issues/10412
## Why
Teams need a way to work on locale-specific Help Center content ahead of
launch. The public portal should only show ready locales, while the
admin dashboard should continue to expose every allowed locale for
ongoing article and category work.
## What this change does
- Adds `draft_locales` to portal config as a subset of `allowed_locales`
- Hides drafted locales from the public portal language switchers while
keeping direct locale URLs working
- Keeps drafted locales fully visible in the admin dashboard for article
and category management
- Adds locale actions to move an existing locale to draft, publish a
drafted locale, and keep the default locale protected from drafting
- Adds a status dropdown when creating a locale so new locales can be
created as `Published` or `Draft`
- Returns each admin locale with a `draft` flag so the locale UI can
reflect the public visibility state
## Validation
- Seed a portal with multiple locales, draft one locale, and confirm the
public portal switcher hides it while `/hc/:slug/:locale` still loads
directly
- In the admin dashboard, confirm drafted locales still appear in the
locale list and remain selectable for articles and categories
- Create a new locale with `Draft` status and confirm it stays out of
the public switcher until published
- Move an existing locale back and forth between `Published` and `Draft`
and confirm the public switcher updates accordingly

Previously, attachments relied only on blob_id, which made it possible
to attach blobs across accounts by enumerating IDs. We now require both
blob_id and blob_key, add cross-account validation to prevent blob
reuse, and centralize the logic in a shared BlobOwnershipValidation
concern.
It also fixes a frontend bug where mixed-type action params (number +
string) were incorrectly dropped, causing attachment uploads to fail.

## Description
This PR includes:
1. Previously, the URL fields accepted any value starting with `https`.
Added proper URL validation to ensure valid URLs are entered.
2. Fixed an issue where form save errors displayed `[object Object]` in
the toast due to inconsistent error formatting from the backend.
