chore(release): cut 0.15.0

* fix(app): keep chat status toasts visible below floating headers

Compact native chats extend beneath the floating header. Panel toasts need measured header clearance and a layer above its fade; placing them below the fade leaves an excessive gap. Keep dock overlays outside keyboard translation so opening the keyboard cannot move them offscreen.

* test(app): verify rendered chat status spacing on native devices

Measure the real header and toast bounds with the software keyboard closed and open. The former arithmetic helper test passed even when the viewport stopped consuming header clearance; the native regression fails against that broken production wiring.

* test(app): exercise toast placement through host disconnection

Observe the public reconnecting state with host connectivity interrupted externally. Keep native bounds and software keyboard assertions while removing runtime evaluation and private timeline-owner mutations.

-never sees an event for an unknown subscription. The app installation's lifetime aborts every
