## Description

---

Stacked on #10173.

## Problem

The floating "Working for…" pill sat 20 above the composer capsule but only a few points below the last timeline row, so it read as attached to the feed and detached from the composer.

## Fix

Size the offsets from the pill's real height (`h-11` = 38.5, not the 44 the constant claimed) and the composer capsule's 6-point inset inside its overlay, so the pill sits 8 above the capsule. Reserve the same 8 above the pill in the feed's end inset. `CONTROL_SEPARATION` picks up the corrected height too; it is the arrow button's width, which is also `w-11`.

## Verification

- `tsc --noEmit` for `apps/mobile`, targeted lint and format.
- iPhone 17 Pro simulator, same seeded thread on `main` and this branch. Measured from screenshots: pill-to-capsule gap 19.7 → 8.0; last-row-to-pill gap ~7 → ~8.

![Before: the pill floats high above the composer. After: the pill sits 8 points above the composer capsule and 8 below the last row.](https://gh-file-drop-api-prod-mi5fy3sowv63ufte.pinglabs.workers.dev/f/2bf0c4be01e9182e/pair-pill.png)
