mac: translucent material band behind the composer row (iMessage-style) (#377)
In dark mode the feed scrolled fully-legible text behind the composer strip. Now the input row (and its transient busy caption) rides ONE .bar material band, so what passes beneath shows as blur — the iMessage treatment. Only the row: the typeahead/banners/staged chips above stay transparent floaters, so the band can never grow and curtain the chat (the failure that got the original full-inset slab removed). iOS needs nothing — its composer already wears floating-glass capsules.
