## Description
Fixes#12868
This PR fixes a Vue 3 reactivity bug that causes the widget to display
"We are away at the moment" on initial page load, even when agents are
online and the API correctly returns their availability.
## Problem
The widget welcome screen shows "We are away" on first render, only
updating to show correct agent status after navigating to the
conversation view and back. This misleads visitors into thinking no
agents are available.
**Reproduction:** Open website with widget in fresh incognito window,
click bubble immediately → shows "away" despite agents being online.
## Root Cause
Vue 3 reactivity chain breaks in the `useAvailability` composable:
**Before (broken):**
```javascript
// AvailabilityContainer.vue
const { isOnline } = useAvailability(props.agents); // Passes VALUE
// useAvailability.js
const availableAgents = toRef(agents); // Creates ref from VALUE, doesn't track changes
```
When the API responds and updates the Vuex store, the parent component's
computed `props.agents` updates correctly, but the composable's
`toRef()` doesn't know about the change because it was created from a
static value, not a reactive source.
## Solution
**After (fixed):**
```javascript
// AvailabilityContainer.vue
const { isOnline } = useAvailability(toRef(props, 'agents')); // Passes REACTIVE REF
// useAvailability.js
const availableAgents = computed(() => unref(agents)); // Unwraps ref and tracks changes
```
Now when `props.agents` updates after the API response, the `computed()`
re-evaluates and all downstream reactive properties (`hasOnlineAgents`,
`isOnline`) update correctly.
## Testing
- ✅ Initial page load shows correct agent status immediately
- ✅ Status changes via WebSocket update correctly
- ✅ No configuration changes or workarounds needed
- ✅ Tested with network monitoring (Puppeteer) confirming API returns
correct data
## Files Changed
1.
`app/javascript/widget/components/Availability/AvailabilityContainer.vue`
- Pass `toRef(props, 'agents')` instead of `props.agents`
2. `app/javascript/widget/composables/useAvailability.js`
- Use `computed(() => unref(agents))` instead of `toRef(agents)`
- Added explanatory comments
## Related Issues
- #5918 - Similar symptoms, closed with workaround (business hours
toggle) rather than fixing root cause
- #5763 - Different issue (mobile app presence)
This is a genuine Vue 3 reactivity bug affecting all widgets,
independent of business hours configuration.

## Description
**This PR includes:**
* Refactored two legacy mixins (`availability.js`,
`nextAvailability.js`) into a Vue 3 composable (`useAvailability`),
helper module and component based rendering logic.
* Fixed an issue where the widget wouldn't load if business hours were
enabled but all days were unchecked.
* Fixed translation issue
