Description
The current version of the learner chatbot uses the sidebar navigation slot and functions like a modal. For UX this means that interacting with the course content will close the chatbot.
This might be annoying for learners and at the same time, taking the modal design away would have an unintended consequence, the learner chatbot could de-sync in terms of the course content that it has in context. We need to solve this by listening to signals of unit navigation and update the chat context.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the learner chatbot occupies the sidebar navigation slot and how unit navigation is exposed; the work is done when interacting with course content no longer closes the chatbot and its context updates when the learner changes units.
