Jeff 84ad60d541 fix(ai-chat): disable submit on empty input instead of surfacing 'Content missing' (#1697) (#1872)
* fix(ai-chat): disable submit on empty input instead of surfacing 'Content missing' (#1697)

Empty-input clicks on the chat send button posted the form, which then
failed Message's `validates :content, presence: true` and surfaced
`Content missing` to the user. The right shape per ChatGPT / Claude
UX is to prevent the submission entirely until the input contains
non-whitespace content.

Add a `submit` target on the icon button and have the existing chat
Stimulus controller:

- Initialise the button to `disabled` when no `message_hint` is set.
- Toggle disabled on every input event (re-using the existing
  `autoResize` handler) based on `input.value.trim().length > 0`.
- Pre-clear disabled when a sample question is injected.
- Short-circuit the Enter-key submit path on empty content so keyboard
  users hit the same gate.

Closes #1697

* fix(ai-chat): drop server-rendered disabled attr, keep JS-driven gate (#1697)

Codex review (P1) + @JSONbored + @jjmata called out that rendering the
submit button with `disabled: message_hint.blank?` would lock the
form out for users without working JS (asset failure, exception during
Stimulus init, etc.). Server-side validation already catches empty
submits with a real error message — server-disabling the button on top
of that turns a soft fail into a hard one.

Remove the server-render `disabled:` attribute. The chat Stimulus
controller still runs `#updateSubmitState()` on connect, on every
input event, and after sample-question injection, and `handleInputKeyDown`
still short-circuits empty Enter submits. With JS the UX is identical;
without JS the form keeps its fallback path.
