feat(native/dm): WhatsApp-style chat — bg pattern, bubble redesign, avatar + realtime fixes

- Header: partner avatar left-aligned (was centered)
- ChatBubble: replace bright blue with subtle mint/brand tint, asymmetric
  tail-corner radius, footer pinned bottom-right, reply-quote with green
  side-bar
- New DmChatBackground: SVG hex-offset doodle pattern (stars, hearts,
  clouds, dots) at 7% opacity — light-cream / dark-warm-green base
- Avatar in chat list: use resolveAvatar() consistently to handle
  hero-id, https, and null cases
- Realtime subscription: stabilize deps via partnerRef to stop
  re-subscribing on partner state change
- Pressable → TouchableOpacity throughout
