## Context

Closes #21773

/>


When a workflow's variable picker (the `+` button next to a field) is
disabled — e.g. on a step whose only trigger is a global manual trigger
that produces no record variables — the button just shows a
`not-allowed` cursor with no explanation of *why*.

## Change

Add an `AppTooltip` to the disabled state of `WorkflowVariablesDropdown`
explaining the reason:

> No variables are available yet. Variables come from the workflow
trigger and previous steps.

The disabled state is reached via `disabled === true ||
noAvailableVariables`. In practice the callers hide the picker entirely
in read-only mode (it's rendered only when `!disabled`/`!readonly`), so
the meaningful trigger is **no available variables** — hence a single
message rather than separate copy per reason.

The tooltip is anchored with a `data-*` attribute selector instead of an
`#id`, because the picker's `instanceId` comes from React's `useId()`
(values like `:r1:`) which are invalid in a CSS `#id` selector that
`AppTooltip` runs through `querySelectorAll`.

## Testing

- `nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-front` — passes (lint + format).
- Verified the component resolves/renders on a local instance running
this branch.
