web: pad the app-thread pane for the floating native header (#237) (#607)

#app-pane (a takeover app's full surface, e.g. Vault) never consumed
--native-top/bottom-inset the way #interface-pane already does, so its
content rendered flush under iOS/Mac's floating header. #app-pane hosting
a nested chat mini-app (a companion app's Chat view) is excluded — its
.chatapp-feed already pads itself independently.

+🤖 Fixed personal apps that take over the whole thread (like Vault) rendering

+their content up under the header on iOS/Mac — the header would hide the top

+of the app until you scrolled past it. The app now starts clear of the header,

+matching apps like To-do and Reminders.
