## Description
### Description
This PR fixes an issue where the editor would reset content and move the
cursor while typing. The issue was caused by a dual debounce setup
(400ms + 2500ms) that saved content and then overwrote local state with
stale API responses while the user was still typing.
### What changed
* Editor now uses local state (`localTitle`, `localContent`) as the
source of truth while editing
* Vuex store is only used on initial load or navigation
* Replaced dual debounce with a single 500ms debounce (fewer API calls)
* `UPDATE_ARTICLE` now merges updates instead of replacing the article
* Prevents status changes from wiping unsaved content
* Removed `updateAsync` for a simpler update flow
### How it works
User types
→ local ref updates immediately (editor reads from this)
→ 500ms debounce triggers
→ dispatches `articles/update`
→ API persists the change
→ on success: store merges the response (used by other components)
→ editor remains unaffected (continues using local state)

## Type of change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
## How Has This Been Tested?
1. Open any Help Center article for editing
2. Type continuously for a few seconds — content should not reset or
jump
3. Change article status (publish/archive/draft) while editing — content
should remain intact
4. Test on a slow network (use DevTools throttling) — typing should
remain smooth

## Description
Fixes https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-3913/issues-with-help-center
**Fixes included**
1. > The default locale that is selected should the portal default
locale.
Now, we update the last active locale in UI settings after changing the
selected locale from the article page header. This ensures that we see
the last active locale-based categories on the category page and
remember it when we return. Initially, it’s the default locale.
2. > I cannot switch to a different locale if there are no articles in
the portal
Now, the `v-if` condition that checked for the presence of articles in
portal has been removed. Additionally, the locale length checks for the
showing dropdown have been removed, allows locale switching even if
article is not preset.
3. > Create or updating the article is quite painful, see the video
Removed the `quickSave` and `saveAndSyncDebounced` usage for a newly
creating article.
4. > I cannot see the articles if I delete the English locale
(irrespective of what I choose as default locale)
Now, the last active locale in UI settings will automatically update to
the default locale when the last active locale is deleted.
5. > Set a new default locale other than `en` and delete the `en` locale
preset in the portal. Then, adding a new locale will automatically set
`en` as the default locale, even if the `en` locale not preset in the
portal.
Now, we pass default locale when we add a new locale.
6. Adds search for all dropdown menus
7. Update article count in realtime.
