f029deafae fix(desktop): welcome banner overlap and missing dismiss control (#5330)
## Problem

The `WelcomeComposerGuidanceLayer` in the `#Welcome` channel was
positioned with `absolute inset-x-0 bottom-full z-[-1]` — outside the
`composerWrapperRef` measurement boundary. `useComposerHeightPadding`
observes `composerWrapperRef`'s block size to set `paddingBottom` on the
timeline scroll container, but the absolutely-positioned layer didn't
contribute to that size. The banner sat directly on top of the newest
message, blocking the thread affordance on that message, and had no
manual dismiss control.

## Fix

**Overlap**: Changed `WelcomeComposerGuidanceLayer` from `absolute
inset-x-0 bottom-full z-[-1]` to `relative` (in normal flow). As a
normal-flow child of `composer-dock`, the layer's full height is now
measured by the ResizeObserver and fed into the timeline's
`paddingBottom`, so the newest message is always fully visible and its
thread affordance is always clickable while the banner shows.

**Dismiss**: Added an `X` close button
(`data-testid="welcome-composer-dismiss-button"`) on the prompt state.
Clicking fires `onDismiss`, which drives `dismissing → hidden`
immediately (same slide-down animation as the auto-dismiss path) and
marks the channel ID as completed in the session ref so the banner does
not reappear on channel re-entry within the session.

**Refactor**: Extracted the banner state machine (refs, timers,
`useEffect`s, and callbacks) from `ChannelPane.tsx` into
`useWelcomeComposerBanner.ts`. This keeps `ChannelPane.tsx` well under
the 1000-line file-size ratchet and makes the state machine
independently testable.

## Changed files

- `desktop/src/features/channels/ui/WelcomeComposerBanner.tsx` —
`WelcomeComposerGuidanceLayer` positioning fix; `onDismiss` prop;
dismiss button; `overflow-hidden` / `mb-0` / `flex-1` cleanup
- `desktop/src/features/channels/ui/ChannelPane.tsx` — remove inline
banner state machine, use `useWelcomeComposerBanner` hook, pass
`onDismiss`
- `desktop/src/features/channels/ui/useWelcomeComposerBanner.ts` — new
hook owning all banner state
