What this does

Lets users ask the AI about specific text they've selected — a natural way to go from reading a response to asking a follow-up about a particular part of it.

  • "Ask AI" floating pill — appears above any selected text within the chat container, with the Autopilot icon and a gradient background to make it feel intentional
  • Quote chip in the input — when the user clicks "Ask AI", the selected text appears as a small truncated chip above the textarea so they can see the context they're referencing before they type their question
  • Dismiss — clicking × on the chip removes the quoted context; submitting the message clears it automatically
  • Scoped to the chat container — selecting text elsewhere on the page (browser UI, other panels) doesn't trigger the pill
  • Enabled via enableTextSelection prop (off by default) so teams can opt in only where it makes sense

Test plan

  • Select text in an assistant message — "Ask AI" pill appears above the selection
  • Click pill — quote chip appears in input with the selected text, input is focused
  • Long quoted text truncates with ellipsis rather than wrapping to two lines
  • × on chip clears the quote
  • Submitting clears the chip and sends the message
  • Selecting text outside the chat container does not show the pill
  • enableTextSelection={false} (default) — pill never appears

I think this is part of a PR stack? Seems like [feat/ai-chat-4-attachments](https://github.com/UiPath/apollo-ui/tree/feat/ai-chat-4-attachments) needs to go in first. Let's keep this in draft until then.
