🎯 IMPROVE: Contextual encouragements and pneumatic responses

- Added pneumatic hammer responses to ai-responses.js for engineering questions
- Enhanced server encouragements to be contextual based on question topic
- Removed generic 'smart question' responses
- Added specific responses for compressed air, air pressure, direction, etc.
- Server now provides topic-specific encouragements (pneumatic, bicycle, car)
- Better mechanical engineering focused feedback for students
