feat(web): Make the Footnote embed self-contained

[jbax1899]

The old /embed showed Footnote's site header, introduction, and setup instructions inside another website. The host also had to explain what Footnote was.

This replaces that page with a complete Footnote section: the existing headline, a recorded answer with its original response metadata and full provenance footer, live chat, and links to the site, docs, and code. The recorded answer stays separate from anything a visitor asks. The original response metadata and TRACE visualization remain visible, but the stored example can't open its full Trace view or use the Report action.

The iframe reports its height as content changes. If a host can't use those updates, the page remains scrollable so nothing is hidden. The embedding guide and focused tests cover both cases.

Closes #883. Companion host change: JordanMakes #9.

Checks

• Focused embed sizing and fixture tests, plus Playwright embed and chat suites.
• Web build and pnpm review --changed-only passed.
• pnpm lint reported no errors and five warnings in unchanged generated Astro declarations.
• CI, CodeQL, and launcher verification passed on the implementation commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • The /embed page now presents a recorded answer with citations and provenance, a separate interactive chat, and links to Footnote, its documentation, and GitHub.
  • Managed embeds adjust their height as content changes, including when source details are opened or closed. Unmanaged embeds remain scrollable, and the layout adapts to narrow screens.
  • Embedding is now permitted on additional configured host domains.

• Documentation

  • Updated embedding guidance explains host-origin configuration, secure validation of height messages, responsive sizing, and scrolling as a fallback. Height messages are sent only when a valid host origin can be determined. It also clarifies that the recorded answer cannot open Trace or use Report.

📝 Walkthrough

The /embed route now presents a recorded response with provenance, a live chat, and project links. The update changes iframe height measurement and messaging, expands host guidance, allows additional framing origins, and adds route and sizing tests.

Changes: Portable embed section

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Recorded response data packages/web/src/data/embedScenario.json, packages/web/src/data/embedScenario.ts, packages/web/src/data/embedScenario.test.ts	Adds a recorded response fixture with citations, provenance, and workflow metadata. The loader validates the response schema, action, and modality. The test checks selected fixture values.
Standalone embed content packages/web/src/pages/EmbedPage.tsx, packages/web/src/styles/public-home.css, test/basic-output-check/chat-accessibility.spec.ts, test/basic-output-check/chat-integrated.spec.ts, test/basic-output-check/embed.spec.ts	Replaces the prior page sections with an introduction, recorded response and footnote, live chat, and links. Adds compact layout styles and browser coverage for the route and chat content. Existing chat tests scope selectors to the interaction area.
Iframe sizing and host guidance packages/web/src/utils/embedHeight.ts, packages/web/src/utils/embedHeight.test.ts, packages/web/src/pages/EmbedPage.tsx, docs/architecture/embedding.md, deploy/fly/server.toml, test/basic-output-check/chat-test-helpers.ts, test/basic-output-check/embed.spec.ts	Measures height from one selected root using its scroll and offset heights, and sends only the current message type. Documents host-side message validation and exact-origin framing configuration. Browser tests cover managed resizing and scrolling when the parent cannot receive resize messages.

Change: Feature · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4de32

Existing embeds that listen only for the documented legacy event may stop resizing as content grows, and could clip content if scrolling is disabled. Restore the event or update those integrations to preserve sizing.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The Footnote-side requirements in #883 are implemented. The embed uses the required copy, recorded fixture, response metadata, CanonicalResponseFootnote, separate live chat, required links, height messaging, scrolling fallback, documentation, and focused tests. The PR does not include the required jbax1899/jordanmakes project-section change. The companion pull-request link does not prove that the host change is present or complete.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The embed page, fixture, response parser, height utility, styles, deployment origin configuration, documentation, and tests support #883. The removal of ARETE from cursor.dictionary has no demonstrated connection to the embed or its integration requirements.

_{A rabbit reads the answer’s trace,
Then checks the sources, place by place.
The chat stays ready down below,
While iframe heights adjust and grow.
“Hop along,” I say, “the facts now show!”
My whiskers twitch; the links all glow.}

packages/web/src/utils/embedHeight.ts:73-76
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep emitting the documented legacy height message.

The base embed emitted both footnote-embed-height and arete-embed-height. The public guide documented both as stable message types. This change emits only footnote-embed-height, so a host that listens only for arete-embed-height stops resizing the iframe as its content grows.

Suggested fix

 export const EMBED_HEIGHT_MESSAGE_TYPE = 'footnote-embed-height';
+export const LEGACY_EMBED_HEIGHT_MESSAGE_TYPE = 'arete-embed-height';
...
         targetWindow.postMessage(
             { type: EMBED_HEIGHT_MESSAGE_TYPE, height },
             targetOrigin
         );
+        targetWindow.postMessage(
+            { type: LEGACY_EMBED_HEIGHT_MESSAGE_TYPE, height },
+            targetOrigin
+        );
