Taylor HoandGitHub 07999425dc fix(mobile): keep latest messages above composer (#4981) ...

**Category:** fix
**User Impact:** Mobile users who jump to Latest now see the newest
message fully above the composer instead of partially hidden behind it.

**Problem:** The channel message list treated the raw viewport bottom as
the latest boundary even though the composer occupies part of that
viewport. Latest jumps and follow-mode corrections could therefore place
the newest message underneath the composer.

**Solution:** Derive the latest alignment from the measured composer
inset and use that same boundary for scrolling, follow detection, and
layout correction.

<summary>File changes</summary>

**mobile/lib/features/channels/channel_detail_page/message_list.dart**
Aligns Latest navigation and follow-mode correction with the visible
bottom edge above the composer, and evaluates boundary state against the
same geometry.

**mobile/test/features/channels/channel_detail_page_test.dart**
Adds a regression assertion that the newest live message clears the
composer and that the Latest control disappears after navigation.

## Reproduction steps

1. Open a mobile channel with enough messages to scroll away from the
newest message.
2. Tap **Latest**.
3. Confirm the newest message is fully visible immediately above the
composer and the **Latest** control disappears.
4. Resize the composer or keyboard while following latest and confirm
the newest message remains above the composer.

## Tested fix

The newest message remains fully visible above the composer after
jumping to **Latest**.
