Jinwoo Hong e347aa4e67 fix(mobile): honour the desktop pinned-worktree placement setting (#25301)
* fix(mobile): honour the desktop pinned-worktree placement setting

Mobile always kept pinned rows in their groups as well as in Pinned. Desktop's
showPinnedWorktreesInGroups (default off) shows them only in Pinned. Read that
setting with its own settings.get operation, refreshed with the list's view
settings, and leave host and device-local pins out of their groups unless it
is on.

* fix(mobile): keep lineage children with a pinned parent

Under single-location a pinned parent left its group while its unpinned child
stayed behind as a root. Visible descendants now follow a pinned ancestor into
Pinned, nested under it, as on desktop. Drop the inert host-id half of the
pinned-policy stale-reply guard; a host switch replaces the client.

* refactor(mobile): fold pinned placement into the desktop view-settings sync

One "sync from desktop" callback now also reads settings.get for pinned
placement, unawaited so a slow read never holds the ui.get merge; the separate
callback and its plumbing are gone. Re-record the three host.view-settings
goldens, which gain only that settings.get send. The pin expansion walks the
lineage children index the renderer now shares, over visible rows only.

* refactor(mobile): one stale-reply rule for the desktop view-settings sync

Both reads in syncViewSettingsFromDesktop now drop a reply only when the client
was replaced; the host-id half compared a captured value with itself. Pin the
no-wait invariant: the ui.get merge applies while settings.get never answers.

* fix(mobile): follow a pin through rows hidden by search

Desktop's Pinned section walks lineage over every worktree and keeps the
visible descendants, so a grandchild still follows a pinned root when search
hides the middle row. Mobile walked visible rows only and left it in its group.
Build the children index from the unfiltered list; membership stays visible-only.
Drop the hostId arg the view-settings sync no longer reads. Pinned-lineage
tests move to their own file to stay under max-lines.

* refactor(mobile): read pinned placement in its own hook

The placement read was folded into the desktop view-settings sync, so that
callback juggled an awaited and an unawaited read and three goldens recorded a
settings.get that never answers. useHostShowPinnedInGroups now owns the setting
and the catalog refreshes it beside the view-settings sync on connect, focus and
mount; the sync, screen state and goldens are back to main.

The reader returns desktop's boolean, as its siblings do, so transport no longer
imports a worktree type and the two-literal policy union is gone. makeSection
always applies lineage, the pinned walk is a Set worklist, and the lineage
children index drops a set that duplicated its map's keys.

* fix(mobile): key pinned placement to the client that reported it

The host screen is reused across hosts, so the previous host's "show in groups"
value survived a switch until the new read landed, or for good if it failed.
The setting now carries the client that reported it and counts only for that
client, which also makes a late reply from a replaced client inert and drops
the clientRef plumbing.

* fix(mobile): drop a replaced client's late placement reply

Keying the value to its client hid a previous host's value but still let that
host's late reply overwrite the current host's, reverting the list to the
default until the next refresh. Restore the clientRef write guard; the client
key still covers the effect-long window before clientRef follows a switch.

* refactor(mobile): treat pinned placement like the screen's other host state

The placement hook kept its own host-switch handling (a client-keyed value plus
a clientRef guard) beside the screen's existing one. showPinnedInGroups now
lives in HostScreenState, resets with the other host-scoped values in
useHostScreenIdentity, and is read in the catalog refresh behind the same
clientRef check as the catalog fetch. The hook and the catalog argument go.
