Diem Nguyen 312cf674fa fix(desktop): remember Inbox unread-only choice (#7672)
## Summary

Inbox forgets the **Show unread only** choice after navigation or
restart. Save the toggle with the existing safe storage helpers and
restore it when Inbox opens.

The preference stays on this installation and applies across accounts
and communities. Fresh installations keep the current off default. If
storage fails, the current view remains usable, but the choice may not
survive navigation.

### Related issue

Related report: #3669.

Overlaps with #6105 and #3682. #6151 also persists category filters and
pane widths. This draft keeps the change to the unread toggle and reuses
the existing storage helpers.

### Testing

The mock Desktop regression passed: enable the toggle, navigate to
Agents and back, reload, then repeat with the toggle disabled. Both
choices were restored. This exercises the UI with a synthetic fixture; a
native app restart was not tested.

The full local repository CI gate is pending. Keep this PR in draft
until validation completes.

### Before and after behavior

Same synthetic Desktop fixture in Chromium, 1280×720, on macOS.
**Before:** production source from
`41c5ace93740261ee5a5d962c2a17e8d846c2c1b`. **After:** PR head
`b50c1a06d53fdc080e7aae6ee9aa2e9ad6b60a82`. The capture test asserted
the displayed toggle state before taking each screenshot.

1. Enable **Show unread only**, open **Agents**, go back to **Inbox**,
and reopen **Inbox options**.
2. Enable the toggle again, reload the page, and reopen **Inbox
options**.

Before the fix the toggle is off after both journeys; after the fix it
stays on. These are mock-backed UI captures, not a native Desktop
restart or live relay test.

| Journey | Before: resets to off | After: stays on |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Inbox → Agents → back |
