perf(ui): warm issue detail navigation (#10416)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI-agent companies
> - The board UI opens issue details from lists, quicklooks, and the
inbox
> - Those navigation paths already have enough issue data to paint the
header immediately, but the comment feed still waits for its first
request
> - That delay makes repeat navigation feel cold and can briefly show an
empty thread before comments arrive
> - This pull request centralizes the comment page shape, prefetches
issue detail plus the first comment page, and renders a reserved
skeleton while an uncached page is loading
> - The benefit is faster, stable warm navigation without coupling this
change to the separate aggregate issue-detail API work

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

- **Subsystem affected:** `ui/` — React + Vite board UI
- **Problem or motivation:** Opening an issue from an already-loaded
list still waits for the first comments request and may flash the
empty-thread state, making warm navigation feel slower than necessary.
- **Proposed solution:** Prefetch the issue-detail snapshot and first
comments page from every issue navigation entry point, reuse one
page-size constant for prefetch and render queries, and show the
existing chat skeleton until the uncached initial page resolves.
- **Alternatives considered:** Relying only on detail-query prefetch
leaves comments cold; bundling this with the aggregate issue-detail
endpoint would make the UI improvement harder to review and land
independently.
- **Roadmap alignment:** `ROADMAP.md` has no overlapping
issue-navigation initiative. This is a focused board responsiveness
improvement.
- **Related pull requests:** #10409 establishes the issue-detail
performance baseline; #10414 reduces server-side issue-detail request
overhead.

## What Changed

- Added one shared issue-comment page-size constant used by rendering
and prefetching.
- Added first-page comment prefetching and a combined navigation
prefetch helper.
- Wired quicklook, issue-list keyboard navigation, and inbox navigation
to warm both caches.
- Kept the existing chat skeleton visible while the first uncached
comment page loads.
- Added focused cache behavior tests for comment and combined navigation
prefetching.

## Verification

- `vitest run ui/src/lib/prefetchIssueComments.test.ts` — 3 tests
passed.
- `tsc -b ui` — passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — passed.

## Risks

- Low risk: this adds background prefetch requests on intentional issue
navigation/hover paths. React Query stale-time deduplication prevents
repeat requests while the cache is fresh.
- The change intentionally remains independent of the separate aggregate
`getView` work and composes with it through the same query keys.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent, exact model `gpt-5.6-sol`; context-window
size was not exposed; reasoning mode with repository tool use and code
execution.
