Updates the "Ask the Mintlify agent" section of the collaboration page: members who can edit content can now ask @mintlify to change the page from a comment thread, and viewers still get read-only replies.

The page said comment replies were always read-only, which is no longer true. The agent now edits the page on the thread's branch when a comment explicitly asks for a change, and answers and offers the change for questions or feedback.

Based on run @mintlify thread replies read-write for members who can edit, which turned on page edits from comment threads for admins, editors and members of organizations without role-based access control.

"The agent doesn't publish" comes from the agent's instructions, not from a hard permission. Please confirm that wording works.

Overview
Updates Ask the Mintlify agent on the collaborate page so it matches thread behavior for users who can edit content.

The doc no longer says @mintlify comment replies are always read-only. It now explains that admins, editors, and members without RBAC can ask the agent to change the page from a thread (with an example like fixing a typo), that edits happen on the thread’s branch only when the comment explicitly requests a change, that questions get answers with an offer to edit instead, and that the agent does not publish—review and publish yourself.

Viewers are called out separately: replies stay read-only with the same research capabilities but no page edits.
