feat(portal-shell): chatbot widget — SSE-bridged AI assistant with full a11y uplift

Closes the AI relay chantier opened by ADR-0024 by landing the SPA
side: a floating-launcher + dialog-panel chatbot that consumes the
BFF's POST /api/ai/chat SSE endpoint shipped in #196.

Stargate's POC widget was rebuilt from scratch rather than ported —
its drag UX, missing aria-live, and minimal screen-reader contract
did not meet ADR-0016's WCAG 2.2 AA + targeted AAA bar.

Key UX + a11y decisions:

- No drag. Stargate's mouse-only floating-bubble drag had no
  keyboard equivalent; replaced with a fixed bottom-right launcher
  + windowed/fullscreen toggle.
- role=dialog + aria-modal=false (non-modal) so the page stays
  operable behind the panel; focus returns to the launcher on
  close via a viewChild + effect pair.
- role=log + aria-live=polite + aria-relevant=additions on the
  message list, so screen readers announce incoming tokens
  without re-reading the full history. Typing-dots animation is
  decorative (aria-hidden) and gated on prefers-reduced-motion.
- Every interactive element honours the 44 × 44 touch-target
  minimum (launcher, header buttons, send/stop, citation chips).
- Stop button visible during streaming, wired to AbortController →
  ChatClient → upstream LLM cancel.
- Citations rendered as inline footnote chips; clicking opens a
  side-panel sibling component with source + score + snippet.
- All strings tagged with $localize per ADR-0019; FR + EN catalogue
  entries added.
- 5 new icons in the shared registry: maximize-2, message-circle,
  minimize-2, send, square, x.

Architecture:

- ChatbotApiService — native fetch (HttpClient buffers streaming)
  + ReadableStream parser + manual CSRF cookie read + AbortSignal.
- SSE parser — pure function with CRLF tolerance, partial-frame
  reassembly, and well-formed JSON / passthrough decoding.
- ChatbotService — signal-based state (view / messages / streaming
  / selected citation) with stop() / send() actions; ephemeral
  conversation per session reload.
- ChatbotHost component — host of the widget; ChatbotCitationPanel
  extracted as a sibling component to stay under
  anyComponentStyle budget (raised from 5/6 to 6/8 KB to match
  portal-admin's posture).
- Lazy-loaded via @defer (on idle) in app.html so the chatbot's
  ~27 KB lazy chunk does not weigh on the initial bundle.

Tests: 27 new specs covering the SSE parser (8), API service (5),
state service (10), and host component (12 — launcher / dialog /
empty state / messages / log live region / input / citation panel).

+ * Single host for the chatbot widget — mounts the launcher button,

+ * side panel.
+ *
+ * Accessibility decisions, per the project's WCAG 2.2 AA + targeted
+ * AAA baseline ([ADR-0016](../../../../../../docs/decisions/0016-accessibility-baseline-wcag-aa-targeted-aaa.md)):
+ *
+ *   - **Non-modal dialog.** `role="dialog"` + `aria-modal="false"`
+ *     so the page chrome stays operable behind the panel; no focus
+ *     trap required, no `inert` attribute on `<main>`. The
+ *     launcher is fixed bottom-right; the panel anchors next to
+ *     it (windowed) or covers the viewport with `inset` margins
+ *     (fullscreen).
+ *   - **No drag.** The stargate POC's draggable bubble is dropped;
+ *     mouse-only gestures without keyboard equivalents fail the
+ *     project's bar. The widget is anchored bottom-right with a
+ *     fullscreen toggle.
+ *   - **Live region for streaming.** The message list is
+ *     `role="log" aria-live="polite" aria-relevant="additions"` so
+ *     a screen reader announces the assistant's incoming tokens
+ *     without re-reading the full history. The "typing" dots
+ *     animation is hidden from AT (`aria-hidden`) and gated by
+ *     `prefers-reduced-motion`.
+ *   - **Focus return.** Closing the panel returns focus to the
+ *     launcher (a hidden render of the launcher would lose this
+ *     anchor; the component keeps the launcher reference alive
+ *     and uses `viewChild` to focus it on close).
+ *   - **44 × 44 touch targets.** Every interactive control (launcher,
+ *     header buttons, send/stop, citation chips) honours the
+ *     project minimum.
+ *   - **Reduced motion.** Panel open/close transitions and typing
+ *     dots are gated by `prefers-reduced-motion` (see SCSS).
+ *
+ * Strings are tagged with `$localize` per ADR-0019 — French is the
+ * default locale; English bundles read the @@key catalogue at
+ * build time.
