## Summary
A failed mobile thread refresh could briefly remove replies and show “0
replies” even though Riverpod still retained the previous result. Read
the retained reply value directly and merge it with pending local
replies through errors and retries. When a reopened thread has no
retained result, show loading or failure instead of a false zero count.
Error status remains visible alongside retained replies.
No additional cache or retention is introduced. Current main
intentionally disposes thread queries on close; reopening still fetches
fresh data. The recorded symptom is reproduced by the failed-refresh
test, but the recording alone does not establish its network trigger.
### Related issue
Related to #4831 (thread refresh and disposal behavior), incorporated
into main through #6691. No duplicate for this rendering defect found.
### Testing
- Reproduced disappearing cached replies in widget tests before the fix;
the new retry/recovery, terminal-error, reopen/loading, initial-error,
and empty-result tests now pass.
- Provider coverage verifies cached and pending local replies survive a
failed refresh and confirmation still clears the local overlay.
- All five new widget regressions, the existing
hydration/scroll-position regression, all nine thread-provider tests,
Flutter analysis, and the final-head full mobile pre-push gate passed
(2,261 tests passed; four skipped).
- Phone-width and large-text rendering checked with synthetic messages.
[Before/after
screenshots](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/7757#issuecomment-5743469556).
- All final-head GitHub checks passed, including mobile tests, Android
debug APK, iOS simulator app, and unsigned iOS release builds.
- Codex code review and security review are clean for `4e5f606ae`; the
earlier accessibility finding is fixed and resolved. Builderbot review
was requested but has not returned a result.
- Broad local `just ci` could not finish: unchanged ACP timing tests
failed, including `keepalive_resets_idle_past_deadline` on the
lower-concurrency retry. The separate ACP run passed all 941 tests.
Initial parallel mobile runs also hit timing flakes; the final-head full
mobile gate passed. No unrelated native code was changed.

Brings the Flutter app's emoji and thread surfaces up to desktop parity.
## Emoji
- **Full emoji-mart dataset** generated from the same `@emoji-mart/data`
set desktop uses (1,870 emoji, 8 categories), committed as an asset — so
shortcodes, names, and keywords are identical across clients. `just
mobile-emoji-data` regenerates it.
- **Rebuilt the tray**: search (a Dart port of desktop's tiered
`emojiSearch` ranking, extended to names and keywords), a
frequently-used section, and one continuous scroll with pinned section
headers. The category rail is a shortcut into that list, not a page
switcher, and spans the full width the search field uses. Custom emoji
share the native glyph size and cell.
- **Reaction pills** match desktop's geometry, and the count shows at 1.
- **Emoji-only messages** render at 36px with 1.45em inline custom
emoji, matching desktop's `emojiOnly` treatment.
- **Positive-emoji burst** ported from desktop's `EmojiBurstProvider`,
suppressed under reduced motion.
## Threads
- **Top-down layout** — head first under the app bar, replies flowing
down, like desktop's thread panel. The old reversed list bottom-anchored
the content and jammed the head against the composer.
- **Tap a channel message to open its thread**; long-press still opens
the action sheet.
- **Live reactions.** The thread's relay query is one-shot and its
`kinds` filter carries only content rows, so a reaction event could not
reach an open thread at all, and `allMessages` was a snapshot frozen
when the route was pushed — a new pill only appeared after leaving and
re-entering, which refetched. The live channel events are now unioned
into the thread's list. The burst is also route-guarded, since the
channel timeline stays mounted underneath and was claiming it first.
- The `+` affordance follows the channel: replies stay bare until they
carry a reaction, and the head keeps a standing `+`.
## Keyboard
A deliberate downward drag past ~48px dismisses the keyboard; short
scrolls leave it alone. Applies to the channel list, the thread list,
and the compose bar (via a raw `Listener`, so it can't steal the field's
tap or selection drags).
True finger-tracking dismissal is out of scope — Flutter only offers
`manual`/`onDrag`, and 1:1 tracking needs a native `UIScrollView` proxy
plus Android's `WindowInsetsAnimationController`.
## Testing
`just mobile-check` and `just mobile-test` pass (965 tests). New
coverage for emoji search ranking, dataset parsing, the emoji-only
predicate, tray scroll/rail behavior, reaction pills and the burst, and
both thread fixes above. `just ci` green.

## The bug
When you tap an item in the Activity inbox that refers to a message
inside a thread (for example, someone replied to you or mentioned you in
a thread reply), the app opened the channel at its top level. It did not
open the thread, and it did not show you the message the notification
was about. You had to hunt for the reply manually.
## The fix
Activity items now keep track of two things: the root message of the
thread and the specific message that triggered the notification. Tapping
the item now:
1. Opens the thread detail view for that thread (instead of the
channel's top level).
2. Scrolls to the specific message that triggered the notification.
3. Briefly highlights that message so it is easy to spot.
This works for both direct replies and replies nested deeper in a
thread, and it fetches the thread from the relay if it is not already
loaded (for example, right after app launch).
## Testing
- Flutter analyzer
- 64 focused mobile tests covering direct and nested thread markers plus
Activity navigation
- Full pre-push suite (mobile, desktop, Rust, and Tauri tests)
## Manual verification
Open Activity, tap a mention for a reply inside a thread, and confirm
Buzz opens that thread, scrolls to the reply, and highlights it.

### What changed?
Adds optimistic rendering for newly locally posted messages in channels
and threads.
- Messages appear immediately
- Relay echoes and history are deduplicated by event ID
- Rejected or timed-out publishes erase the optimistic rendering.
The implementation covers reconnect and hydration races, channel-window
and legacy WebSocket paths, thread-local overlays, and rapid concurrent
sends.
### Why?
This is a valuable partial mitigation for
[BOT-1449](https://linear.app/squareup/issue/BOT-1449/buzz-mobile-posted-messages-dont-appear-until-leavingre-entering-the):
senders no longer depend on receiving a relay echo before seeing their
own post.
It does not address the likely primary cause of stale channels. Mobile
currently does not recover live subscriptions after a rate-limited relay
`CLOSED`; that recovery is being handled separately.
### How is it tested?
Full mobile suite: 676 passed, 1 skipped.
Added regression coverage for optimistic insertion, authoritative
deduplication, rollback, reconnect and hydration, thread replies, rapid
and equal-time sends, never-echoed successful sends, and legacy
WebSocket retirement.
