Completes the messaging controls from v4.8.14 and fixes the bug that made them
appear broken for recipients.

Fixed:
- Per-message metadata was silently dropped for recipients. NotificationIntegration
  wrapped onMessage and deliverMessageToUI with 2-arg shims that called the
  originals without the 3rd argument (meta); with notifications enabled, view-once,
  disappearing timers and unsend all failed on the receiving side. Both wrappers
  now forward all arguments. Added tests/notification-meta-forwarding.test.mjs.
- Chat would not open after SAS: composer props were threaded into the wrong
  component (EnhancedConnectionSetup vs EnhancedChatInterface) -> ReferenceError
  nowTick on the verified re-render. Props moved to the chat component.

Changed:
- Code blocks: lightweight dependency-free syntax highlighting via React nodes
  (no innerHTML/remote scripts); code mode expands the input; copy auto-clears
  the clipboard after ~30s.
- View-once: configurable visible-after-open time (5s/15s/30s/1m) via meta.onceTtl.
- Disappearing timer: duration picker (Off/30s/5m/1h) instead of click-cycling.
- Composer toolbar moved next to "Send files"; borderless buttons, brand-orange
  active state; pickers open upward and are mobile-friendly.
- Sender bubble background lightened to rgba(249,115,22,0.05).

Removed:
- Panic wipe button (disconnect already wipes keys and clears session state).

Transport unchanged: per-message metadata travels inside the encrypted envelope,
whitelisted/bounded by _sanitizeMessageMeta. Full suite: 19 files, all passing.
Docs (README, CHANGELOG) updated; version bumped to 4.8.20.

# Changelog
## v4.8.20 — Secure chat tools: completed, fixed and polished
Completes the messaging controls introduced in v4.8.14 and fixes the bug that made them appear broken for recipients. All per-message options travel inside the encrypted message envelope (never in the sanitized text), so message content cannot spoof or corrupt them.
### Fixed
- **Per-message metadata was silently dropped for recipients.** `NotificationIntegration` wrapped both `webrtcManager.onMessage` and `webrtcManager.deliverMessageToUI` with two-argument shims that called the originals without the third argument (`meta`). With notifications enabled, every received message lost its `meta`, so view-once, disappearing timers and unsend all failed on the recipient side. Both wrappers now forward all arguments (`...rest`). Added `tests/notification-meta-forwarding.test.mjs`.
- **Chat would not open after SAS** (regression from the initial wiring): the composer props were threaded into the wrong component (`EnhancedConnectionSetup` instead of `EnhancedChatInterface`), throwing `ReferenceError: nowTick` on the verified-state re-render. Props are now on the chat component.
### Changed
- **Code blocks** now include lightweight, dependency-free syntax highlighting (comments, strings, numbers, keywords) rendered via React nodes — no `innerHTML`, no remote scripts. Enabling code mode expands the input (monospace, 8 rows) for comfortable entry. Copying a block auto-clears the clipboard after ~30s.
- **View-once** is now configurable: the sender picks how long the message stays visible after the peer opens it (5s / 15s / 30s / 1m) via `meta.onceTtl` (clamped 1s1h).
- **Disappearing timer** uses a duration picker (Off / 30s / 5m / 1h) instead of click-cycling.
- **Composer toolbar** moved next to the "Send files" control; borderless buttons with the brand-orange (`accent-orange`) active state; time pickers open upward and are sized for mobile readability.
- Sender bubble background lightened to `rgba(249, 115, 22, 0.05)`.
### Removed
- **Panic wipe** button. Disconnecting already wipes keys and clears session state, so a separate panic control was redundant.
