AI helper hiding on Android tablets

I got a follow-up PR ready in core, which adds a flag to DMenu to prevent these types of issues from re-occurring:

github.com/discourse/discourse

FEATURE: New option for `DMenus` inside composer

discourse:main ← discourse:d-menu-composer-flag

### :mag: Overview This update adds a new option to the `DMenu` options called …`insideComposer`. This is to be used when instantiating a new menu inside the composer. Adding this flag will ensure that the menu has an adequate `z-index`, and thus shown to the user without any issues. ### ➕ More details This will help each use-case from adding workarounds. For example, in Discourse AI we have been using various [workarounds](https://github.com/discourse/discourse-ai/pull/1102) to ensure that the `DMenu` is shown correctly. These can now be safely removed. ### ✍🏽 Usage #### When invoking `DMenu` as a component in the template: ```diff <DMenu @identifier="foo" @inline={{true}} + @insideComposer={{true}} @content="content" /> ``` #### When invoking `DMenu` as a service: ```diff const menu = api.container.lookup("service:menu"); menu.show(document.querySelector(".foo-menu"), { identifier: "foo-menu", component: FooMenu, interactive: true, + insideComposer: true, data: {...}, }); ```

Once that’s merged, I’ll revisit and follow-up in the AI plugin.
