Subject: [PATCH] fix: push notification navigation delay and stale in-app
 avatar

- switchToThread: wait for CHANNEL_LIST to be top of stack instead of
  the unreachable HOME tab-group segment, fixing the ~30s delay when
  opening thread notifications while the app is running
- reduce wait fallback timeouts to 1s
- icon.tsx: re-subscribe to the sender's avatar when senderId changes,
  fixing stale avatars shown on bursty/rapid notifications
