Document the AI Assistant's allocation cost-trace capabilities — explain why an allocation changed (root cause + slice drill-down), trace lineage both directions, see what drives an allocation, and run what-if estimates — with the clean/partial answer model and the dimension / cascade limitations. Cross-linked from the allocation results page.

The capabilities are MCP tools driven from an external AI agent (Claude Code/Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.) connected to the workspace MCP server - not the in-product AI Assistant tab. Retitle to 'Analyze Allocations With an AI Agent', add a note pointing to the Connect an AI Coding Agent setup tutorial, and link there from Next Steps.

What
Adds the missing customer guide for the AI Assistant's allocation cost-trace capabilities, under
guides/allocations/results/. These are user-driven (you ask the assistant in plain English) but weren't documented anywhere.New page: Analyze Allocations With the AI Assistant — covers:
It documents the clean vs partial answer model (incl. that filtered allocations now resolve clean) and the two honest limitations as callouts: dimension allocations (precise "why" needs point-in-time hierarchy history — a later release) and cascaded allocations (scope to a slice). Cross-linked from the existing Allocation Results page.
