[Chatbot] - Support inline renaming of conversations in ChatbotConversationHistoryNav

Chatbot Component Area

Layout (Chat Drawer, Header, Persona)

Describe the feature

When using ChatbotConversationHistoryNav, there is no built-in support for inline renaming of conversations in the sidebar.
The Conversation interface only accepts a static text string, and the component renders it as plain text inside a MenuItem. There is no way for consumers to switch a conversation item into an inline edit mode without overriding.
To rename a conversation, consumers currently have to build their own modal dialog outside the component, triggered from the menuItems dropdown. An inline rename option — where selecting "Rename" from the kebab menu converts the title into an editable text input in-place — would be a more direct UX and reduce the need for consumer-side workarounds.

Expected Data Structure

No response

Conversational Flow

• Inline rename would be triggered from double-clicking the title and the per-conversation kebab menu "Rename" action.
• The text content switches to an inline text input pre-filled with the current value
• Enter confirms the rename
• Escape cancels and reverts to the original text
• Applies to all conversation items (pinned and unpinned)

Visuals & Mockups

Conversational Accessibility

• The inline text input should receive focus automatically when entering edit mode
• Escape key must cancel editing and return focus to the conversation item
• Enter key must confirm the rename
• The editable input should have an accessible label (e.g., "Rename conversation")

Validation

• This request aligns with PatternFly AI/Chatbot design guidelines.
• I have searched for existing chatbot-specific components.
