Description

Bug description

When using the React embedded Assistant, if no suggestions prop is passed to <GitBookFrame />, the Assistant shows AI-generated suggested questions instead of the "Suggested questions" configured in Customization → AI Assistant.

Expected behavior:

The embedded Assistant should fall back to the site-level Suggested questions when embed-level suggestions are not provided.

Actual behavior:

The embedded Assistant displays AI-generated questions unless suggestions is explicitly set in code.

Environment:

React embed using <GitBookFrame /> with tabs={['assistant']} and no suggestions prop.

Impact:

This creates inconsistent behavior between the docs site Assistant and the embedded Assistant, and forces duplication of question lists.

Research direction

Start at the React embed entry point, GitBookFrame, and trace how the assistant handles an omitted suggestions prop versus site-level Customization → AI Assistant settings. Reproduce with tabs={['assistant']} and no suggestions prop. Done means the embedded Assistant displays the configured site-level Suggested questions instead of AI-generated questions in this case.
