FlowFuse Expert: Node-RED palette context incorrectly included in FlowFuse platform context

[dimitrieh]

Current Behavior

When using the FlowFuse Expert (AI assistant) outside of the immersive Node-RED editor — i.e., in the regular FlowFuse platform UI — the Node-RED palette context is being included in the expert's context. This palette context should only be present when the expert is used within the immersive Node-RED editor.

Expected Behavior

The Node-RED palette context should only be added to the FlowFuse Expert when it is operating inside the immersive Node-RED editor. When using the expert from the FlowFuse platform UI (outside the editor), no palette context should be included.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open Chrome (or a browser you don't normally use)
2. Log in to FlowFuse
3. Open the FlowFuse Expert (AI assistant) from the platform UI (not the immersive editor)
4. Observe that palette context is present in the expert's context

Environment

• Browser: Chrome (reproduced)
• Platform: FlowFuse Cloud

Notes

• Suspected to be a timing issue that has always existed but has been exacerbated recently (per Steve McLaughlin).
• Serban was able to reproduce once but not consistently.
• Reproduced by multiple team members.

@cstns can you give this a time estimate? Also see https://flowfuse.slack.com/archives/C09QS57R8AD/p1773052922646489?thread_ts=1772806576.611339&cid=C09QS57R8AD

~2h at first glance, need to deep dive on the cause
