hub: NO_ARCHIVES_IN_SCOPE draft — "Choose some on the hub's front page to ask.", the phrase a link to it (re-read)
/ask shows no chips, so "Turn one on above" was wrong there. The constant
stays the one place for the operator's copy. Its [bracketed] words become
a link to "/", where the chips are, and dropping the brackets removes the
link. copyWithLink / copyText (hubScopeCopy.ts) split and flatten it for
AskChat and the e2e. The Composer's `blocked` prop is now a ReactNode. The
e2e asserts the flattened text, one line, and the link's href.
