Michael Ramos 43dd79c3d2 feat(review): mark files viewed as you scroll past them
Reviewers reading the all-files diff top to bottom had to check every file
off by hand. Now a file marks itself viewed when the reviewer MOVES ON from
it, after its content was actually on screen long enough to have been read.
Arriving at a file never marks it; leaving it downward does.

- All-files surface: a file marks when the reader scrolls past it (its
  successor has reached the viewport top, so it genuinely scrolled out above)
  and has accumulated at least 1000ms as the reported reading file. Dwell is
  cumulative per diff snapshot, so bouncing between two files still accrues,
  while a momentum flick to the bottom marks nothing. The last file, which can
  never scroll out above, marks on reaching the end of the diff.
- Single-file panel: opening a file never marks it; navigating away after the
  same dwell floor does. Keyboard file navigation drives the same panel
  switches, so keyboard-only parity is automatic.
- Collapsed cards never mark. Generated files seed collapsed, so nobody
  reviews a lockfile by scrolling past its folded header.
- Un-viewing a file suppresses auto-view for it until it is marked viewed by
  hand again. That set rides the review draft as an additive optional field.
- Inert inside the Guided Review takeover and on a commit detour, where the
  files on screen are not the change under review.
- A viewed file whose patch changes under a refresh loses its checkmark, but
  only while auto-view is on, so the off state stays byte-identical to today.
- PR sessions batch the marks into one /api/pr-viewed request rather than one
  per file.

The setting is reviewAutoViewed, cookie-only and on by default, with two off
switches: Settings > Git and a row in the file-list gear popover. The first
time auto-view actually fires, a toast says so and offers Turn off; using
either switch consumes that one-time notice.

The decision core is pure and clock-injected (utils/autoViewed.ts), the
binding is a hook (hooks/useAutoViewed.ts), and AllFilesCodeView only gains
one optional emission callback on the rAF path it already runs. No server
changes in either runtime.
