Customers reported that the CSAT survey was recording their rating the
instant they tapped a star — leaving no chance to correct an accidental
pick. This change lets the customer freely change their selection until
they actually submit the comment/feedback. The rating still saves on
click (so we don't lose ratings when a customer never types a comment),
but it stays editable until the comment form is submitted. Once that
happens, the rating locks.
The flow on both surfaces:
- Customer taps a star/emoji → rating is saved.
- Customer taps a different star/emoji → previous save is overwritten
with the new value.
- Customer types a comment and submits → latest rating + comment are
saved together.
- After that submit, the rating is locked and can't be changed.
Two surfaces are updated:
- **Standalone survey page** (`/survey/responses/:uuid`) — the rating
buttons remain re-tappable until the Feedback form is submitted; once
submitted, both rating and feedback lock.
- **In-conversation widget CSAT** — same behavior, the inline
arrow-submit button on the feedback form is the locking action.
In-flight guards prevent a race where the customer changes their pick
mid-network-call (raised by the codex review on the earlier revision):
while a save is in flight, the rating controls are temporarily disabled
so the request and the displayed selection can't diverge.

## How to test
**Standalone survey page**
1. Enable CSAT on any inbox (Settings → Inboxes → Configuration → CSAT
survey).
2. Resolve a conversation in that inbox so a CSAT message is generated.
3. Open the survey URL:
`{FRONTEND_URL}/survey/responses/{conversation.uuid}` (easiest: `bundle
exec rails runner 'puts Conversation.joins(:messages).where(messages: {
content_type: "input_csat" }).last.csat_survey_link'`).
4. Tap a star/emoji — confirm the rating saves (Network panel shows a
PUT to `/public/api/v1/csat_survey/{uuid}`).
5. Tap a different star/emoji — confirm a second PUT goes out with the
new value; the latest selection is reflected.
6. Type a comment and hit Submit feedback — confirm rating + feedback
persist; both controls now lock.
7. Reload the page — the locked state is rehydrated correctly.
**Widget CSAT**
1. From an inbox with CSAT enabled, resolve a conversation that has an
active widget session.
2. In the widget, the CSAT card appears with stars/emojis + the inline
comment box.
3. Tap a star/emoji — confirm a PATCH goes out and the selection visibly
updates.
4. Tap different stars/emojis — confirm each overrides the previous
save.
5. Type a comment and click the arrow — rating + comment submit
together; stars lock.
Both display types (emoji and 5-star) should behave consistently.
## What changed
- `app/javascript/survey/views/Response.vue` — `selectRating()` saves on
every tap and short-circuits while a save is in flight (or after
feedback was submitted). Rating components are disabled by
`isFeedbackSubmitted || isUpdating` so the lock follows the feedback
submission, not the first rating tap.
- `app/javascript/survey/components/Rating.vue` — new `isDisabled` prop.
The disabled / hover styling and click guard key off it instead of the
presence of `selectedRating`, so emojis stay re-clickable until the
feedback step locks them.
- `app/javascript/shared/components/CustomerSatisfaction.vue` — same
shape for the widget: rating click auto-submits and re-clicks override
the previous save; controls disabled while a submit is in flight;
emoji-button styling and the inline `StarRating` lock on
`isFeedbackSubmitted || isUpdating`.

These fixes are all auto generated and can be merged directly
Fixes the following issues
1. Event used on components should be hypenated
2. Attribute orders in components
3. Use `unmounted` instead of `destroyed`
4. Add explicit `emits` declarations for components, autofixed [using
this
script](https://gist.github.com/scmmishra/6f549109b96400006bb69bbde392eddf)
We ignore the top level v-if for now, we will fix it later
