Keeps the mobile + menu focused on Create channel and New direct
message, with 8-point facing corners, a 6-point gap, and the active
Home/Solo tab fill on iOS.
Moves Browse channels directly above the channel list, including its
empty state, preserving open-channel discovery, retry, and Join. Adds a
cold-start journey through the real channel loader and join action with
relay boundaries faked.
Validation: mobile formatting/analysis and full mobile test suite;
mutation check confirms the new journey fails when directory loading is
removed. The original menu styling was tried on a physical iPhone; the
replacement Browse entry has widget-journey coverage and has not yet
been tried on device.

## Summary
Polish mobile Home and Solo: group Search/Inbox beside a separate
profile avatar, move Inbox and Settings to bottom-up pages with Close
controls, and place tabs opposite the plus/compose action. Morph plus to
compose clockwise when entering Solo and reverse counterclockwise when
returning Home, with a directional quarter-turn of the icon inside a
level button and a subtle scale pulse, respecting reduced motion. Align
Search’s Close control with Inbox, simplify its placeholder, and
initialize selected filter contrast correctly. Collapse the plus menu
when leaving Home. Center Solo’s native-glass New chat empty state and
keep it stationary behind the keyboard.
Standardize Tabler icons and neutral backgrounds, retain SF Back/Close
on iOS, use native Liquid Glass headers, tab container, and actions
(solid grey selected tab, slightly darker on iOS) on iOS and black
actions on Android, and smooth the expanded menu corners. Repair native
header safe-area/return layout and compose movement after cancellation.
### Related issue
None found for this UI refinement; follows #8337.
### Testing
- Formatting, analysis, full mobile suite: 3,487 passed, 4 skipped; 3
push-configuration tests passed. File-size checks passed.
- Base UI built and installed on Pixel and iPhone in place. Pixel
navigation/New chat cancellation checked. Subsequent glass and rotation
refinements are previewed on iPhone; motion feel awaits human
confirmation.
- Draft pending human confirmation of the final Settings entrance/return
behavior on iPhone.

## Summary
Preview buzz-app's Tabler icon style in the mobile app, replacing
app-drawn Lucide glyphs across channels, messages, activity, search, and
settings. A shared `BuzzIcons` mapping uses the bundled Tabler 3.46.0
outline font, matching buzz-app's version, with its MIT license and
source documented.
Native UIKit controls retain SF Symbols. The former 300/500 navigation
glyphs use Tabler's standard outline; existing selection colors and
labels remain.
### Related issue
No matching Tabler mobile migration issue or PR found. Related native
iOS controls: #8055.
### Testing
- Pre-push mobile analysis, formatting, file-size checks, and the full
mobile test suite passed.
- 194 focused widget tests passed, including channels, home, search,
settings, and message content.
- Light and dark community-settings renders inspected.
- Signed iPhone Release build succeeded; installed and launched as Buzz
Tabler on a physical iPhone.
- Full `just ci` attempted; stopped during Rust clippy compilation
because the Mac ran low on disk space. Full repository validation is not
claimed.

## Summary
Use native Liquid Glass for the iOS tab bar and expanding + menu,
preserving the existing Lucide icons, icon-only layout, badges,
accessibility labels, and tab interactions. The + uses black-tinted
glass with white controls; the selected tab has a subtle theme accent
(6% blended into the existing selection color). Android retains its
current styling.
### Related issue
No duplicate issue found. Related prior navigation work: #7281 (closed).
This change covers the tab bar and quick actions; it does not add
page-to-page navigation-bar morphing.
### Testing
- `just mobile-check` passed (formatting, analysis, and file-size
checks).
- `just mobile-test` passed: 2,678 tests passed, 4 skipped; the separate
unconfigured-push suite also passed all 3 tests.
- Widget coverage verifies native glass parameters, black + tint,
original icons, icon-only layout, tab selection, badges, and quick-menu
open/close behavior.
- Signed Release iOS build installed and launched on a physical iPhone;
the final glass and tint styling was reviewed on device. No final-app
screenshot was captured.
- Full `just ci` was attempted but stopped during desktop compilation as
available disk space dropped to 3.5 GiB. The complete repository-wide
gate is not locally verified; hosted CI remains pending.

## Summary
- Refine mobile navigation with icon-only tabs, haptics, a solid active
state, and spring quick actions.
- Bring Create channel and New message closer to desktop with radio
settings, keyboard submission, relay people, and wrapped recipient
chips.
- Keep both sheets draggable below the status area and prevent keyboard
overflow with many recipients.
## Testing
- `just mobile-check`
- `just mobile-test`
- Pixel 10 manual verification
