test(app): retain separate initial theme journeys

* fix(app): keep the compact sidebar close button beside the first nav row

The close button was absolutely positioned over the nav group, so it covered
the first row's label and hover fill. It now shares a flex row with the first
item, which shrinks to make room, and uses the compact header's icon button so
it gets the same size and round press highlight.

 # Changelog
 
+## 0.12.0-beta.1 - 2026-10-16
+
+Background workspaces, a new Markdown renderer with selection across paragraphs on phones, a reworked phone layout, and close to 100 fixes.

+Beta tags like `v0.1.1-beta.1` trigger the GitHub APK workflow and EAS `Release iOS Beta`. They publish a GitHub prerelease APK and distribute iOS through TestFlight without submitting to production stores.
 
 `android-v*` tags also trigger only the GitHub APK workflow — useful when you want to ship an APK without going through stores. The GitHub APK workflow supports `workflow_dispatch` with an existing `tag` input so you can rebuild without cutting a new tag.

 Workspace file links use the shared file-link resolver. The workspace supplies its client, root and open-file action once; chat can supply the agent's more specific context.

Images that share a line with text stay inline.

 ### Android audio focus interruptions
 
-Voice mode uses the custom `expo-two-way-audio` Android module, so incoming calls and other system audio owners must be tested with emulator/system commands, not a JS-only test. To verify that voice resume handles denied audio focus without crashing:
+Use native instrumentation for audio interruptions. JS-only tests cannot prove Android focus,
+input silencing, or route recovery. The module's `android/src/androidTest` suite runs through
+Gradle's `connectedDebugAndroidTest` task and uses real `AudioManager` and `AudioRecord` instances.
+Run the microphone-privacy cases on Android 12 or newer.
+
+Verify these distinct outcomes:
+
+- Dictation continues when another media owner takes permanent, temporary, or ducking focus.
+- Disabling microphone access pauses audio delivery without discarding the dictation. Enabling
+  access resumes it. Starting dictation while access is disabled waits for the same recovery.
+- Returning from music controls resumes dictation without pausing music again. Cancelling a
+  backgrounded recording must prevent the lifecycle callback from restarting it.
+- Two-way voice still stops coherently on focus loss. Keep the incoming-call check below: it
+  exercises denied focus during lifecycle resume, beyond an ordinary media takeover.
 
 ```bash
-adb shell am start -n sh.paseo/.MainActivity
-# Start voice mode in an existing composer, then background Paseo with Home.
+# Start voice mode in an existing composer, then background Paseo.
 adb emu gsm call 5551234
-# Foreground Paseo while the call is still ringing.
+# Foreground Paseo while the call is still ringing, then end the simulated call.
+adb emu gsm cancel 5551234
 ```
 
-Expected result: Paseo does not throw `RuntimeException: Audio focus request failed`; native audio reports an interruption and voice mode stops or pauses coherently.
+Expected result: no `RuntimeException: Audio focus request failed`, and voice mode stops or pauses
+coherently. Repeat with dictation: it must retain captured audio and recover microphone access.
+Use browser/device automation to operate the app; the commands above only control emulator telephony.
+
+This fix requires a rebuilt native app. An OTA update on an older binary retains legacy capture.

+`packages/protocol/src/validation/ws-outbound.ts` is the shipped boundary. It validates the envelope with a generated validator that checks only each session message's `type` tag, then runs the generated validator for that one message type and returns the validated data. Issue paths from the message validator, including nested union branches, are prefixed with `message`, so callers see the same issues as when one validator covered the whole envelope. It does not normalize, repair, or re-validate the generated result.
+
+Keep one generated function per message type. zod-aot inlines every nested schema into the function it compiles, so compiling `WSOutboundMessageSchema` as a whole produced one 11 MB function. On V8 (daemon clients, plugin hosts, the CLI, and Electron), the Maglev tier compiled that function once it was hot, allocating about 800 MB and stalling for seconds, and compiled it again after each deoptimization. Hermes has no JIT, so mobile never showed it. `packages/protocol/tests/validation/ws-outbound.test.ts` fails if a generated function grows past 1 MB.
 
 Generated validators preserve unknown keys where Zod object parsing strips them. The client dispatch path uses known `type` and payload fields, so this passthrough behavior is accepted for inbound messages. The wire format is unchanged.

 iOS and Android store builds are not in `.github/workflows`. They are triggered by the EAS GitHub app the moment the `v*` tag is pushed:
 
 - **Android (Play Store)** — EAS builds with profile `production` and auto-submits to the Play Store via `eas submit` (EAS-managed credentials, no Fastlane).
-- **iOS (TestFlight + App Store)** — EAS builds with profile `production`, uploads to TestFlight, and a Fastlane lane submits the build for App Store review.
+- **iOS (TestFlight + App Store)** — EAS builds with profile `production`, uploads once through a `testflight` job, distributes the build to the `Paseo Beta` external group with Beta App Review submission, and a Fastlane lane submits that same build for App Store review.
 - **Android APK (GitHub Release asset)** — separate, via `.github/workflows/android-apk-release.yml`. This is the only Android-related workflow that lives in this repo.
 
 EAS uses the local app version source. `packages/app/app.config.js` derives the native version from the package version. Android `versionCode` is `major * 1_000_000 + minor * 1_000 + patch`. iOS reserves 1,000 build slots per app version: beta `N` uses slot `N`, and stable uses slot `999`. For example, `0.2.6-beta.2` appears in App Store Connect as version `0.2.6` build `2006002`; stable uses build `2006999`. Rebuilding the same tag produces the same native build number; if a store has already accepted a binary and you need a different binary, cut the next beta or patch instead of relying on EAS remote auto-increment.
 
-Beta tags run `Release iOS Beta`. The workflow uploads the build to TestFlight, distributes it to the persistent `Paseo Beta` external group, and submits it for Beta App Review. Testers and the group are managed once in App Store Connect; releases require no dashboard action.
+Stable tags run `Release Mobile`; beta tags run `Release iOS Beta`. Both distribute to the persistent `Paseo Beta` external group and submit for Beta App Review, so testers receive stable releases as well as betas. Testers, the group, and required TestFlight test information are managed once in App Store Connect.

+Stable iOS releases use one binary for two Apple review paths: Beta App Review for external TestFlight distribution and App Store review. [Apple says](https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/test-a-beta-version/invite-external-testers) the first submitted build requires a full TestFlight review; later builds for the same version might not. Do not assume a stable patch skips review.
