fix(mobile): replace Callstack glass with Expo glass

[rynfar]

Second of the mobile batch. Adopted from upstream pingdotgg/t3code#8862 (9b2d04317). Depends on #223, which created floating-working-control.tsx.

What this does

Consolidates onto the glass library the app was already standardised on.
expo-glass-effect was the primary — both GlassSurface and native-glass are
built on it — while @callstack/liquid-glass survived in only two files. This
removes the second library and its native pod.

Upstream's stated reason for the switch: Expo reapplies glass after native layout
and window reattachment, where UIKit can otherwise leave the label visible but
lose the material behind it.

The rest is API renames — effect → glassEffectStyle, interactive →
isInteractive, and isLiquidGlassSupported → Pylon's existing
NATIVE_LIQUID_GLASS_SUPPORTED.

Port fidelity

The cherry-pick applied with no conflicts, so I checked for silent drops rather
than trusting that. For both changed components, diff(upstreamParent, upstream)
and diff(pylon, HEAD) are line-for-line identical — no Pylon divergence was
present in these files and none was lost.

Two things verified rather than assumed:

• The support predicate is close but NOT identical, correcting an earlier
  version of this description. @callstack checks @available(iOS 26) AND the
  absence of UIDesignRequiresCompatibility; Expo's isGlassEffectAPIAvailable
  checks @available(iOS 26) AND a runtime UIGlassEffect probe. Neither
  implies the other, and Expo's other export isLiquidGlassAvailable is the
  closer analogue. This is latent rather than active: app.config.ts does not
  set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility, so today the two agree. If it were ever
  set as an iOS 26 escape hatch, headers and tab bars would go legacy while
  these two components kept rendering glass. Timing is genuinely equivalent —
  both are import-time module constants over OS/build-fixed values.
• The removal is complete. No @callstack/liquid-glass consumers remain
  anywhere in apps/ or packages/.

The docs edit stays Pylon-voiced and only widens the sentence to cover the
working timer and scroll-to-end button.

Verification

@t3tools/mobile typecheck clean, lint clean, 194 mobile thread tests passing.

Because this drops a native dependency and CI does not build iOS on this PR,
I regenerated the native project rather than relying on the JS bundle: expo prebuild --platform ios plus CocoaPods. Confirmed by inspecting the output, not
the exit code — PylonDev.xcworkspace exists, Podfile.lock has zero
liquid-glass references and still carries expo-glass-effect. A full simulator
build against the regenerated project follows.

Worth noting the regenerated workspace is PylonDev.xcworkspace; the checkout
had a stale T3CodeDev.xcworkspace left from before the Pylon rename.

Native build: ** BUILD SUCCEEDED **, zero errors and zero liquid-glass
references anywhere in the build log. Read from the log, not the exit code.

Simulator pass (iOS 26.3)

Adversarial review raised a blocking concern worth recording, because it was
specific and testable: the library being removed ships an explicit UIKit
workaround (contentView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true) for a bug where
UIGlassEffect can leave a glass view's content non-interactive when children
mount after setupView(). Expo's GlassView.swift has no such line, and
isInteractive — which this PR introduces to Pylon for the first time — wraps
the only tappable control inside a glass view. Predicted symptom: a dead
scroll-to-end button.

It does not reproduce. Tested on a fresh native build against real seeded
threads, in both code paths:

• standalone UniwindGlassView with isInteractive (no work running) — tap
  scrolled the feed to the end and the button correctly disappeared;
• merged GlassContainer with the working timer — same result.

The likely reason: Expo's GlassView.swift carries 7 layoutSubviews /
didMoveToWindow hooks that re-run setup, whereas GlassContainer.swift has
none. Also verified visually: both pills render with correct rounded-full
geometry, so the unclamped-borderRadius concern does not manifest either.

The working-timer branch needs a live turn, so it was exercised by temporarily
forcing showWorkingControl on and then reverting — no such change is in the
diff, and all six gating conditions are intact on the branch.

Second of the mobile batch. Adopted from upstream pingdotgg/t3code#8862 (9b2d04317). Depends on #223, which created floating-working-control.tsx.

What this does

Consolidates onto the glass library the app was already standardised on.
expo-glass-effect was the primary — both GlassSurface and native-glass are
built on it — while @callstack/liquid-glass survived in only two files. This
removes the second library and its native pod.

Upstream's stated reason for the switch: Expo reapplies glass after native layout
and window reattachment, where UIKit can otherwise leave the label visible but
lose the material behind it.

The rest is API renames — effect → glassEffectStyle, interactive →
isInteractive, and isLiquidGlassSupported → Pylon's existing
NATIVE_LIQUID_GLASS_SUPPORTED.

Port fidelity

The cherry-pick applied with no conflicts, so I checked for silent drops rather
than trusting that. For both changed components, diff(upstreamParent, upstream)
and diff(pylon, HEAD) are line-for-line identical — no Pylon divergence was
present in these files and none was lost.

Two things verified rather than assumed:

• The support predicate is close but NOT identical, correcting an earlier
  version of this description. @callstack checks @available(iOS 26) AND the
  absence of UIDesignRequiresCompatibility; Expo's isGlassEffectAPIAvailable
  checks @available(iOS 26) AND a runtime UIGlassEffect probe. Neither
  implies the other, and Expo's other export isLiquidGlassAvailable is the
  closer analogue. This is latent rather than active: app.config.ts does not
  set UIDesignRequiresCompatibility, so today the two agree. If it were ever
  set as an iOS 26 escape hatch, headers and tab bars would go legacy while
  these two components kept rendering glass. Timing is genuinely equivalent —
  both are import-time module constants over OS/build-fixed values.
• The removal is complete. No @callstack/liquid-glass consumers remain
  anywhere in apps/ or packages/.

The docs edit stays Pylon-voiced and only widens the sentence to cover the
working timer and scroll-to-end button.

Verification

@t3tools/mobile typecheck clean, lint clean, 194 mobile thread tests passing.

Because this drops a native dependency and CI does not build iOS on this PR,
I regenerated the native project rather than relying on the JS bundle: expo prebuild --platform ios plus CocoaPods. Confirmed by inspecting the output, not
the exit code — PylonDev.xcworkspace exists, Podfile.lock has zero
liquid-glass references and still carries expo-glass-effect. A full simulator
build against the regenerated project follows.

Worth noting the regenerated workspace is PylonDev.xcworkspace; the checkout
had a stale T3CodeDev.xcworkspace left from before the Pylon rename.

Native build: ** BUILD SUCCEEDED **, zero errors and zero liquid-glass
references anywhere in the build log. Read from the log, not the exit code.

Simulator pass (iOS 26.3)

Adversarial review raised a blocking concern worth recording, because it was
specific and testable: the library being removed ships an explicit UIKit
workaround (contentView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true) for a bug where
UIGlassEffect can leave a glass view's content non-interactive when children
mount after setupView(). Expo's GlassView.swift has no such line, and
isInteractive — which this PR introduces to Pylon for the first time — wraps
the only tappable control inside a glass view. Predicted symptom: a dead
scroll-to-end button.

It does not reproduce. Tested on a fresh native build against real seeded
threads, in both code paths:

• standalone UniwindGlassView with isInteractive (no work running) — tap
  scrolled the feed to the end and the button correctly disappeared;
• merged GlassContainer with the working timer — same result.

The likely reason: Expo's GlassView.swift carries 7 layoutSubviews /
didMoveToWindow hooks that re-run setup, whereas GlassContainer.swift has
none. Also verified visually: both pills render with correct rounded-full
geometry, so the unclamped-borderRadius concern does not manifest either.

The working-timer branch needs a live turn, so it was exercised by temporarily
forcing showWorkingControl on and then reverting — no such change is in the
diff, and all six gating conditions are intact on the branch.
