The emoji picker and the @-mention list were absolutely positioned inside
.mention-textarea-wrap, so every ancestor with a clipping box cut them off —
and TextEditor sits inside plenty: .dump-card-inner, .journal-card and
.rich-content-card clip with overflow: hidden, while .modal-body and the chat
scroller clip just as hard with overflow-y: auto. The picker also always
opened upward, so a textarea near the top of the viewport pushed it off-screen.
Both popups are now portaled to <body> and anchored to the textarea with
position: fixed, which no ancestor can clip. The new useAnchoredFloat hook
flips to whichever side has more room, clamps horizontally on narrow screens,
and publishes the space left as --float-max-h so the list shrinks and scrolls
instead of overflowing. It re-places on scroll, on resize, and through a
ResizeObserver, since autoResize grows the textarea as you type.
z-index goes to 1100 to clear the modal backdrop, staying under tooltips.
Drops two point-fixes that only existed to work around the clipping: the
hardcoded upward flip for the chat composer's mention list, whose leftover
margin would now double the gap, and the claim that the chat modal's body
needed overflow: visible for the popovers' sake.
