feat(app): unread message indicator (channel view, header, hamburger)

Tracks per-lane unread counts for finalized assistant messages. A message
counts as unread unless the user is actively reading that lane (current
lane, app focused, newest content at the bottom of the viewport).

- ChatStore: ephemeral per-lane unread map (markUnread/markLaneRead/unreadFor).
- IrisController: 'being read' decision on incoming messages; clears the
  current lane when the app returns to the foreground at the bottom.
- Bridges: push foreground changes to the controller.
- ChatScreen: per-channel badges in the drawer/rail, an 'N new' pill in the
  header (tap glides to the latest message), and a red dot on the hamburger
  (single-pane/mobile only) when another channel has unread.

Closes #3.
