Android 15+ enforces edge-to-edge, and Capacitor stops padding the WebView
once it can hand the insets to the page instead — so the app draws under
the gesture/navigation bar. Only the top inset was ever consumed: full
cover surfaces ignored the bottom one entirely, which is why a settings
list ran under the bar, and the chat shell reserved half of it, which is
enough for a home indicator but not for a bar that swallows taps.
Reserve the full inset in the shell on Android and give the surfaces that
own the bottom edge — fullscreen surfaces, the workspace drawer, bottom
sheets — an opt-in class that pads them. The sessions drawer already did
this through its footer, so it stays as it is. Capacitor reports a zero
bottom inset while the keyboard is up, so none of this stacks with the
keyboard inset. iOS deliberately keeps its softer visual inset.
Testing: package type-check and lint; drove the mobile surface in a
browser with the Android platform class and a simulated 48px inset (shell
and surfaces reserve exactly that, drawer footer unchanged, and removing
the class returns every surface to zero).
