chore: unit tests for sendMessages, resendMessages, UpdateMessages and readMessages

[OtavioStasiak]

Proposed changes

Adds unit tests for three message methods that had little or no coverage:

• sendMessage / resendMessage — optimistic record creation, server success/failure handling, encryption and write failures,
  draft clearing, and thread replies (thread header bump, thread + thread message records, tshow).
• updateMessages — create/update diffing, deletes, thread and thread-message handling, and the final batch.
• readMessages — subscription guard, E2EE warning skip, local unread clearing, and error paths.

Tests only — no production code changed.

Use an explicit subscription mock interface.

Define TestSubscription, accept Partial<TestSubscription> for fields, and return TestSubscription from makeSubscription. Replace both any annotations so invalid fields and updater signatures fail at compile time.

File: app/sagas/__tests__/init.test.ts:0-0
Timestamp: 2026-08-21T17:03:36.070Z
Learning: In TypeScript test files, do not require explicit return-type annotations on `it()` callbacks when the surrounding test suite omits them. Also, do not require explicit parameter types when TypeScript correctly infers them from a typed mocked function signature, such as `UserPreferences.getString`.
