Subject: [PATCH] feat(FN-1671): add AI milestone suggestion feature

- Add milestone suggestion generation backend contract with scoring algorithm
- Add milestone suggestion hook actions (generate, accept, dismiss) in useRoadmaps
- Add RoadmapsView UI with suggestion panel, cards, and accept/dismiss buttons
- Document AI milestone suggestion feature in dashboard guide
- Add roadmap-suggestions unit tests covering generation and UX flows

+### AI Milestone Suggestions
+
+Roadmaps View includes one-click AI-powered milestone generation to help you quickly create milestone ideas from a goal prompt.
+
+**How to use:**
+
+1. Select a roadmap from the sidebar
+2. In the "Generate Milestone Ideas" section, describe your roadmap goal in the text area
+3. Click **Generate Milestones** to create AI suggestions
+4. Review the suggested milestones:
+   - Click the **check icon** on any suggestion to accept it as a milestone
+   - Click **Accept All** to add all suggestions as milestones (in order)
+   - Click the **X** button to clear all suggestions
+
+**Key features:**
+
+- Suggestions are generated using AI and include both titles and descriptions
+- Accepted milestones appear immediately in your roadmap
+- Milestones are created in the order displayed in the suggestion list
+- Suggestions are ephemeral (in-memory only) and don't persist to the database
+- The generate button is disabled when no roadmap is selected or prompt is empty
+
 ### Empty States
 
 - **No roadmaps**: "No roadmaps yet. Click + to create one."

+ * - Planning-style JSON extraction with repair
+ * - Input validation (goal prompt max length, count bounds)
+ * - Read-only endpoint (no persistence of suggestions)
+ * - Error mapping (validation 400, not found 404, AI/parser 500/503)

+## Guidelines
+
+1. **Think about phases**: Break the goal into logical phases (e.g., "Foundation", "Core Features", "Polish", "Launch")
+2. **Use clear titles**: Milestone titles should be concise and descriptive (e.g., "Authentication System", "User Dashboard MVP")
+3. **Add context**: Include a brief description explaining what this milestone encompasses
+4. **Order matters**: List milestones in the order they should be completed
+5. **Realistic scope**: Each milestone should be achievable in 2-4 weeks
+
+## Output Format
+
+Respond with ONLY a valid JSON array of milestone suggestions:
+
+[
+  {
+    "title": "Milestone Title",
+    "description": "Brief description of what this milestone covers (1-2 sentences)"
