Fill mobile loading views across the screen and use known image, video,
voice-note, and file shapes in message placeholders. Freeze each loading
cycle’s layout so arriving metadata cannot reshuffle the shimmer just
before content appears; preserve cached Home and forum content during
reconnects.
Validation: mobile analysis and full test suite passed (2,752 passed, 4
skipped), plus 3 unconfigured-push tests and file-size checks. Installed
and launched the loading changes on Pixel 10 before the latest main
merge. Full `just ci` was stopped during desktop checks due to low disk
space.

## Summary
Replace the community switch sheet with a two-column picker. Selection
enlarges the avatar, waits with the voice-note loader for destination
channel content and layout to settle, then follows a curved path into
the header.
Cache raster icons at a maximum 512-pixel size and accept only
resource-free emoji SVGs. Cancel timed-out or disposed downloads without
delaying content readiness. Animate Edit badges in place, and open Add
Community on the pairing welcome page. Community removal lives only in
the switcher’s Edit mode. Keep the flow shared across Android/iOS, with
native iOS controls and removal confirmation, and clear navigation
backgrounds at rest.
### Related issue
Related to #8070 (community icon refresh/caching).
### Testing
- 122 focused Flutter regression tests and seven native iOS tests passed
after merging the latest navigation changes from `main`. Earlier feature
build installed and launched on a physical iPhone.
- Full mobile pre-push checks passed; regression coverage includes
gradient rendering, rejected/oversized icons, bounded persisted raster
decoding, SVG resource rejection and cache migration, timeout/disposal
cancellation, disconnected destination channels, degraded unread-history
settlement, and switching while icons refresh. Full `just ci` stopped
during Rust checks for low disk space. Hosted CI remains required.

## Summary
- replace mobile connecting and reconnecting banners with element-shaped
skeletons for channel lists and message timelines
- add a low-contrast two-second shimmer and same-slot reveal, with
reduced-motion support
- align top, section, loaded-row, and skeleton label columns
## Why
Connection banners shifted content and did not match the desktop loading
treatment. The skeletons preserve layout and make reconnects less
disruptive.
## Testing
- `just mobile-check`
- `just mobile-test` — 704 passed, 1 skipped
- Pixel 10 visual verification in loaded and reconnecting states
