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.
