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
This PR adds support for creating articles directly from the category
view. Previously, articles could only be created from the main articles
page. With this change, users can now create a new article while
browsing a specific category, making the workflow faster and more
convenient.

## Description
When creating a help center article, typing a title and navigating into
the content auto-creates the article and switches the route
(`/articles/new` → `/articles/.../edit/:slug`). During this transition,
focus was jumping back to the title, interrupting editing.
This happened because `ArticleEditor` always autofocuses the title. On
route change, the component remounts and re-triggers focus. Now, after
auto-create, focus stays in the body as expected.

Adds the ability to translate help center articles to other languages using Captain's LLM infrastructure. Translated articles are created as drafts linked to the source article.
Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-6901/translate-article-to-another-language
**How to test**
1. Navigate to Help Center → Articles for a portal with multiple locales
2. Click the three-dot menu on any article → "Translate"
3. Select a target language and category → click Translate
4. Switch to the target locale — the translated article appears as a
draft
5. Try translating the same article again — a warning shows the existing
translation with a link to open it in a new tab
6. Click "Overwrite and translate" to replace the existing translation

## Description
### Description
This PR fixes an issue where the editor would reset content and move the
cursor while typing. The issue was caused by a dual debounce setup
(400ms + 2500ms) that saved content and then overwrote local state with
stale API responses while the user was still typing.
### What changed
* Editor now uses local state (`localTitle`, `localContent`) as the
source of truth while editing
* Vuex store is only used on initial load or navigation
* Replaced dual debounce with a single 500ms debounce (fewer API calls)
* `UPDATE_ARTICLE` now merges updates instead of replacing the article
* Prevents status changes from wiping unsaved content
* Removed `updateAsync` for a simpler update flow
### How it works
User types
→ local ref updates immediately (editor reads from this)
→ 500ms debounce triggers
→ dispatches `articles/update`
→ API persists the change
→ on success: store merges the response (used by other components)
→ editor remains unaffected (continues using local state)

## Type of change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
## How Has This Been Tested?
1. Open any Help Center article for editing
2. Type continuously for a few seconds — content should not reset or
jump
3. Change article status (publish/archive/draft) while editing — content
should remain intact
4. Test on a slow network (use DevTools throttling) — typing should
remain smooth

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

## Description
This PR includes,
1. **Channel-specific formatting and menu options** for the rich reply
editor.
2. **Removal of the plain reply editor** and full **standardization** on
the rich reply editor across all channels.
3. **Fix for multiple canned responses insertion:**
* **Before:** The plain editor only allowed inserting canned responses
at the beginning of a message, making it impossible to combine multiple
canned responses in a single reply. This caused inconsistent behavior
across the app.
* **Solution:** Replaced the plain reply editor with the rich
(ProseMirror) editor to ensure a unified experience. Agents can now
insert multiple canned responses at any cursor position.
4. **Floating editor menu** for the reply box to improve accessibility
and overall user experience.
5. **New Strikethrough formatting option** added to the editor menu.

## Description
This PR fixes an issue where updating the icon for a category didn’t
work while editing. This happened because the edit dialog is wrapped in
a form, and the icon button (missing `type="button"`) triggered a form
submission instead of opening the icon picker.
**Solution:**
Set the icon button’s `type` to `"button"` to prevent unintended form
submission.

## Description
This PR fixes an issue with slug validation in the Help Center portal
settings. Previously, users were able to create or update slugs with
invalid characters such as spaces, slashes, and special symbols, which
cause help center to crash.
With this update, slug creation and updates are now properly validated.
Only slugs that match the allowed pattern will be accepted. No spaces,
underscores, slashes, or special characters are allowed.
Examples: **user**, **user-guide**

Fixes https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-3913/issues-with-help-center
**Fixes included**
1. > The default locale that is selected should the portal default
locale.
Now, we update the last active locale in UI settings after changing the
selected locale from the article page header. This ensures that we see
the last active locale-based categories on the category page and
remember it when we return. Initially, it’s the default locale.
2. > I cannot switch to a different locale if there are no articles in
the portal
Now, the `v-if` condition that checked for the presence of articles in
portal has been removed. Additionally, the locale length checks for the
showing dropdown have been removed, allows locale switching even if
article is not preset.
3. > Create or updating the article is quite painful, see the video
Removed the `quickSave` and `saveAndSyncDebounced` usage for a newly
creating article.
4. > I cannot see the articles if I delete the English locale
(irrespective of what I choose as default locale)
Now, the last active locale in UI settings will automatically update to
the default locale when the last active locale is deleted.
5. > Set a new default locale other than `en` and delete the `en` locale
preset in the portal. Then, adding a new locale will automatically set
`en` as the default locale, even if the `en` locale not preset in the
portal.
Now, we pass default locale when we add a new locale.
6. Adds search for all dropdown menus
7. Update article count in realtime.

### The problem
Writing in the text editor can be very frustrating, the reason is that
the editor had a debounced save method which would push the article to
the backend and update the current state. This however is a bad idea,
since the can take anywhere between 100-300ms depending on network
conditions.
While this would be in progress, the article is still being edited by
the user. So at the end of the network request, the state returned from
the backend and the current state in the editor is diverged. But since
the update happens anyway, the editor would prepend older context.
```
Time -->
User Action: [Edit 1] ---> [Edit 2] ---> [Edit 3]
Backend Save: Save Req (Edit 1) ----> Response (Edit 1)
Resulting Editor State: [Edit 3] + [Edit 1] (Outdated state prepended)
```
### The solution
The solution is to unbind the article from the backend state, ensuring
that the article editor is the source of truth and ignoring the
responses. This pull request does this by adding an asynchronous save
functionality. The changes include adding a new `saveArticleAsync` event
and ensuring that the local state is not updated unnecessarily during
asynchronous saves.
```
Time -->
User Action: [Edit 1] ---> [Edit 2] ---> [Edit 3]
Backend Save: Save Req (Edit 1) ----> Response (ignored)
Resulting Editor State: [Edit 3] (Consistent and up-to-date)
```
Added the following two debounced methods
These complementary debounce methods prevent unnecessary re-renders
while ensuring backend is in sync. `saveArticleAsync` preserves the
editor as the source of truth, while `saveArticle` manages periodic
state updates from the backend with a delay large enough to safely
assume that the user has stopped typing
Method | Delay | Behavior
-- | -- | --
`saveArticleAsync` | 400ms | Sends data to backend and ignores the
response
`saveArticle` | 2.5s | Sends data and updates local state with the
backend response
### How to test
1. Remove the following line
https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/blob/dc042f6ddcb4e108795ff83bb57f8d92c6a2b90a/app/javascript/dashboard/components-next/HelpCenter/Pages/ArticleEditorPage/ArticleEditor.vue#L64
1. Update the latency here to 400 (P.S. the diff shows the latency to be
600, but that was added as a stop-gap solution)
https://github.com/chatwoot/chatwoot/blob/dc042f6ddcb4e108795ff83bb57f8d92c6a2b90a/app/javascript/dashboard/components-next/HelpCenter/Pages/ArticleEditorPage/ArticleEditor.vue#L51
1. Set the browser network latency to Slow 3G or 3G
1. Start writing on the editor, try fixing typos with backspace or
moving around with the cursor
