The chooser now searches the community directory in DMs, as it does in streams and forums. Sending asks first. A DM cannot add members, so the prompt offers only Send anyway, and the outside people become references that do not notify anyone. Row and prompt copy name the DM.

Rename outsideMentions to allowsOutsideMentions, fix import order, use a plain test for sessions, and test the DM label in the toolbar picker. Signed-off-by: Larry <627498bd4bd1f281a16431e3c6cce3b5c25b6692798c78672298aefbf2f8f8b5@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz>
Nobody can be added to a DM, so the send prompt offered no real choice. A DM now sends outside people straight away as references, which do not notify them. The chooser row already says so. Streams and forums still ask. Signed-off-by: Larry <627498bd4bd1f281a16431e3c6cce3b5c25b6692798c78672298aefbf2f8f8b5@buzz.block.builderlab.xyz>
Every known channel can now name people outside it. Sessions already use their own agent list, because their mentions admit agents. The type check only left untyped channels out, although the sidebar shows them as channels. Those channels now ask on send, like streams.

Untyped fixture channels now search the directory, like streams. Wait for that page before the step under test, so a late page cannot race it. A removed member that the directory still finds stays as a disabled "membership changed" row, and the agent namesake shows its agent label.

One change needed: keep community-directory mentions out of session media comments (inline finding).

…oser Media comments and edits in a session mount the composer without session mode. Removing the channel-type gate let those composers search the community directory and ask about outside people on send. Sessions now stay excluded by channel type in the candidates, the directory search and the send path. The session picker test now waits past the directory delay, so it can catch this.

No further actionable changes requested. The channel-type guard now consistently excludes sessions from directory searches, candidate admission, and ordinary nonmember prompts, including media-comment composers without session mode; the regression test also advances past the directory debounce.

🤖 ## Summary The mobile app's @mention chooser now follows the same rules as the desktop app (buzz-app). The same typed text finds the same people in the same order on both apps, and sending works the same way. - **Same matching and order.** Mobile uses the shared mention rules and runs their shared test cases. A multi-word search such as `@Mary J` still searches the community directory, so it can find "Mary Jane" even when she is not in the channel. - **DMs can mention people outside the DM.** The chooser marks them "not in DM". Nobody can be added to a DM, so the message sends without a prompt. Outside people go out as references, so they are not notified. This matches buzz-app #510. - **Channels still ask.** In a stream or forum, mentioning someone outside the channel asks "Invite" or "Do nothing" before the message sends. A channel with no type tag counts as a stream. - **Sessions do not search the directory.** Only session members appear. - **A failed directory search stays visible.** The chooser shows the error and a Retry button. Before, it closed. - **Search results stay in their community.** If you switch communities while a search runs, its people and its error do not show in the new community. The search starts again there. - **A failed send check keeps the draft.** Before a message with a mention sends, the app checks who is in the channel. If that check fails, the message stays in the compose bar and a notice offers Retry. Before, nothing was sent and nothing was shown. - **Invite stays in its community.** If you switch communities while the "Invite" question is open, Invite adds nobody. ### Screenshots The real compose bar widget, rendered by Flutter's test renderer with the app's fonts and theme.
