The new composer props (nowTick, codeMode, view-once/timer setters, unsend/expire handlers) were threaded into EnhancedConnectionSetup, but the message list and composer live in the sibling EnhancedChatInterface. After SAS confirmation the verified-state re-render referenced an out-of-scope `nowTick`, throwing "ReferenceError: Can't find variable: nowTick" so the chat never rendered. Move the prop destructuring and pass-through onto EnhancedChatInterface (where the chat UI actually is) and revert the mistaken additions on EnhancedConnectionSetup. No behavioural change to the v4.8.14 features otherwise. Bumps to 4.8.15.
