chat: honest local send status + sender-side pacing (Phase 5)
Closes the final phase of docs/chat-hardening-plan.md. Two problems: a
locally echoed message always looked sent even when the core had no active
session or the gossip broadcast failed; and a fast burst could broadcast
'successfully' yet be silently dropped by every receiver's per-author rate
bucket (8 burst, then 1/s) with no sender feedback.

Send status: CoreCommand::SendChat/SendChatFile carry a local-only id (never
on the wire); the core replies with UiEvent::ChatSendResult after the gossip
broadcast succeeds or fails, and a no-active-session is now an explicit
failure rather than a silent no-op. gossip send_chat, which previously
returned Ok on a missing sender/topic or an encode failure, now returns Err.
ChatEntry gains local_send: Option<LocalSend>; failed sends render a red
'Not sent — {reason}  [Retry]' line, Broadcast/Pending render nothing
(there are no delivery receipts, so silence is the honest success state).

Sender-side pacing (new src/app/sendqueue.rs): sends past the burst queue
locally as 'queued…' and trickle out at the receivers' sustained rate, so
nothing is lost and typing is never blocked (user chose queue-and-trickle
over input throttling). The pacer reuses the gossip gate's own TokenBucket +
per-author constants (now pub(crate)) so the two sides of the policy can't
drift. A 250ms drain subscription runs only while the queue is non-empty.
Retry re-dispatches the retained payload; re-serving the same attachment id
replaces the ServeStore entry rather than double-counting bytes. The pacer
and monotonic send-id counter survive a room reset (receivers' buckets
persist; ids never alias a late result); queue and retry payloads are cleared.

582 lib tests (+11: 4 pacer/queue seam, 7 app-level transition/retry/reset);
all-targets green, clippy -D warnings clean, fmt clean, smoke launch OK. No
wire change (GOSSIP_PROTO stays 5). Tests-green-only — the two owed
two-machine field-test items are logged in the plan.

//! Sender-side chat send status and pacing (chat-hardening Phase 5).
//!
//! Every RECEIVER admits our chat through a per-author token bucket
//! ([`CHAT_AUTHOR_BURST`] then 1/s) and silently drops what exceeds it, with no
//! acknowledgement wire. The only way the sender can be honest about fast
//! bursts is to never exceed that budget in the first place: sends past the
//! burst are queued locally (shown as "queued…") and trickled out at the
//! receivers' sustained rate. The pacer deliberately reuses the receiver
//! gate's own [`TokenBucket`] and constants so the two sides of the policy
//! cannot drift apart.
//!
//! Everything here is pure — `now_ms` is passed in, never read from a clock —
//! so every boundary is unit-testable.
