Fix layout lifecycle monotonicity during temporary overlay visibility

This commit updates ChatConversationSurfaceProjectionCoordinator to ensure that once ShouldLoadActiveConversationRoot and ShouldLoadTranscriptSurface become true, they do not regress to false. This properly separates the view loading realization (ShouldLoad... tied to x:Load) from visual state visibility (ShouldShow...), preventing expensive UI layout tear-downs and ensuring that chat surfaces remain in memory correctly while temporary blocking overlays are shown. Updates relevant tests in ChatConversationSurfaceProjectionCoordinatorTests and ChatViewModelTests to expect monotonic layout behavior.

The observed problem: When a temporary overlay, like a connection masking view or session switch preview, is shown, the ChatViewModel drops the ShouldLoadActiveConversationRoot and ShouldLoadTranscriptSurface values to false. This violates the x:Load monotonic rule where things shouldn't regress just because a transient overlay obscures them, causing tearing down of the tree and losing things like warm scroll resume.

The root cause: ChatConversationSurfaceStatePresenter and ChatConversationSurfaceProjectionCoordinator coupled ShouldLoad... and ShouldShow... directly in mapping. If a surface shouldn't be shown due to overlay visibility, its load command was also negated.

Why the fix is safe architecturally: By adding state properties to track if ShouldShowActiveConversationRoot and ShouldShowTranscriptSurface have ever been true and then using those to gate the ShouldLoad... projection property, we properly separate layout realization intent from current visual visibility. This complies fully with the Uno Platform view rules without touching code behind.

Verification:

  • dotnet build SalmonEgg.sln --configuration Debug
  • dotnet test tests/SalmonEgg.Presentation.Core.Tests/SalmonEgg.Presentation.Core.Tests.csproj --configuration Debug --no-restore
  • specific test runs targeting updated areas

Unverified GUI-only risks: None known. No direct XAML was touched and it correctly maintains ShouldLoad... state behind the scenes safely.

This commit updates `ChatConversationSurfaceProjectionCoordinator` to ensure that once `ShouldLoadActiveConversationRoot` and `ShouldLoadTranscriptSurface` become `true`, they do not regress to `false`. This properly separates the view loading realization (`ShouldLoad...` tied to `x:Load`) from visual state visibility (`ShouldShow...`), preventing expensive UI layout tear-downs and ensuring that chat surfaces remain in memory correctly while temporary blocking overlays are shown. Updates relevant tests in `ChatConversationSurfaceProjectionCoordinatorTests` and `ChatViewModelTests` to expect monotonic layout behavior.

Closing during PR triage: this is a stale or duplicate layout-loading monotonicity attempt. #49 is the clean green candidate for this behavior; this PR is superseded, failing/conflicting, or mixed-scope and should not be merged as-is.
