Fixed mobile browser viewport height issues where status bar and hint text were hidden:
CSS changes:
- Use 'height: 100dvh' (dynamic viewport height) for mobile browsers
- Fallback to '100vh' for older browsers
- Added 'min-height: 0' to main flex container (critical for flex children)
HTML changes:
- Added 'viewport-fit=cover' to meta tag (notched displays)
- Improved flexbox structure in index.html
- Added inline 'min-height: 0' on flex-grow-1 row (prevents overflow)
The 'dvh' unit dynamically adjusts to browser chrome (URL bar) visibility,
preventing layout shifts when scrolling on mobile. The min-height: 0 fix
ensures flex children properly shrink when needed.
This should fix the issue where bottom status bar disappears on mobile
and top navbar disappears after sending a message.

Improved mobile user experience:
- Shortened hint text: 'Shift+Enter: new line, Enter: send' (was 'Press Shift+Enter for new line, Enter to send')
- Reduced form padding on mobile (0.5rem instead of default)
- Made status bar more compact on mobile (smaller padding and font)
- Better vertical space utilization on small screens
This should make the status bar visible on mobile devices and improve overall usability on phones.

Implemented 200-character limit for messages due to LoRa/MeshCore constraints:
- Added maxlength=200 to textarea
- Added live character counter (0 / 200)
- Visual warnings: orange at 75%, red at 90%
- Counter updates on input, reply, and send
- Backend validation with descriptive error message
- Added technotes/limity.md documentation about MeshCore limits
Based on MeshCore LoRa payload constraints (~180-200 bytes safe limit).
This prevents message fragmentation and improves transmission reliability.
