Subject: [PATCH] feat(desktop): let every chat surface float its composer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

popoutAllowed was hardcoded false for session tiles, so only the primary
thread could pop out — a tab or a split had no way to undock its composer.
Secondary windows stay docked; that gate was the load-bearing one.
