UVE: Unexpected client-side requests to /api/v1/ema from the backend

Problem Statement

When editing a PageAsset in the backend, dotCMS sends several requests to /api/v1/ema even when there are no EMA App configurations.

Steps to Reproduce

• Open the browser inspector -> Network tab
• Edit a PageAsset like https://demo.dotcms.com/dotAdmin/#/edit-page/content?url=%2Findex&language*id=1&mode=EDIT*MODE
• See 404 requests to /api/v1/ema
• Also see corresponding errors in the dotCMS log

INFO util.SecurityLogger: class com.dotcms.rest.exception.mapper.DoesNotExistExceptionMapper : No configuration was found for EMA on the current site

Reproduce the issue by editing a PageAsset at the linked demo URL and watching the Network tab for requests to /api/v1/ema. Check the corresponding dotCMS log entry and trace which PageAsset editing entry point triggers the requests. Done means requests are not sent when no EMA configuration exists, with no related 404s or log errors.
