Help centers using the documentation layout now render correctly in two
cases that previously fell back to the wrong output. Opening a portal at
its custom-domain root (e.g. docs.example.com/ ) now shows the full
documentation home
in place instead of the classic layout, and portals whose locale is a
region variant that Chatwoot doesn't ship a
translation for (e.g. th_TH , fr_ML ) now show their categories in the
sidebar on article pages.

https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-7437/portal-layout-is-not-properly-working-in-custom-domain
## How to test
1. Create a portal with the documentation layout and a custom domain
(e.g. example.chat.test ), with at least one
category containing a published article.
2. Visit the custom-domain root ( http://example.chat.test:3000/ ) → it
should show the full documentation home
(sidebar, topbar), not the classic layout, with no redirect.
3. Set the portal's locale to a region variant Chatwoot doesn't
translate, e.g. th_TH , with categories/articles
under that locale.
4. Open an article → the sidebar should list the article's category and
sibling articles. Before the fix the sidebar
was empty for these locales.

We allow users to select locale variants when creating the help center
(e.g., pt_BR or en_UK). However, the selected variant may not always be
available for translation in the app. In such cases, we need to fall
back to either the base language or the default locale.
While this fallback logic was implemented for the portal locale, it was
missing for article locales.
This PR fixes that issue.
