Fix recording toast spacing above fixed-style composer

[andremion]

Goal

The voice-message recording hint toast ("Hold to record. Release to save/send") should sit 16px above the composer top edge, per design. It does in the floating composer style, but in the default fixed style the gap collapses to ~0px. The same gap is missing on the mic-permission rationale snackbar, which shares the component.

Resolves AND-1210 (Notion #12).

Implementation

The toast is a popup anchored to the record button, which sits 16dp inside the fixed-style composer (the composer's conditional top = spacingMd inset). That offset exactly consumes StreamSnackbar's built-in 16dp bottom padding, so the visible gap drops to 0 in fixed style. Floating style has no top inset, so its gap is already correct.

Added a conditional bottom padding — spacingMd in fixed style, 0 in floating — to MessageComposerAudioRecordingHint and MessageComposerAudioRecordingPermissionRationale in ChatComponentFactory, mirroring the composer's own conditional top inset. This restores the 16dp gap in fixed style and leaves floating style unchanged.

🎨 UI Changes

Recording hint / permission-rationale toast in fixed composer style now keeps a 16px gap above the composer (was flush against it). Floating style is visually unchanged.

Before	After

Testing

Fixed composer style (default):

1. Open a chat and tap (don't hold) the mic button → the "Hold to record…" toast appears.
2. Verify there is a 16px gap between the toast and the top edge of the composer.
3. Revoke microphone permission, tap the mic → the permission-rationale snackbar shows with the same 16px gap.

Floating composer style (ComposerConfig(floatingStyleEnabled = true)):
4. Repeat the steps above → spacing is unchanged (still 16px), confirming no regression.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Style
  • Enhanced audio recording feedback message positioning in the message composer. Snackbar padding now intelligently adjusts based on the active composer style—padding is removed when floating style is enabled for a compact design, otherwise standard spacing is applied for proper alignment.

Walkthrough

This PR modifies two audio recording snackbar components in the message composer to conditionally adjust their bottom padding based on whether the composer uses floating-style layout. When enabled, snackbars use zero padding; otherwise, they use standard medium spacing.

Changes

Conditional Snackbar Bottom Padding in Composer

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Conditional bottom padding for audio recording snackbars stream-chat-android-compose/src/main/java/io/getstream/chat/android/compose/ui/theme/ChatComponentFactory.kt	MessageComposerAudioRecordingPermissionRationale and MessageComposerAudioRecordingHint now pass a modifier to StreamSnackbar that conditionally sets bottom padding to 0.dp when ChatTheme.config.composer.floatingStyleEnabled is enabled, otherwise to StreamTokens.spacingMd.

🐰 A rabbit hops through padding layers bright,
Making snackbars dance when floating's in sight,
Conditional spacing keeps UI just right,
No more unstyled corners blocking the light! ✨
