Description

When connection to a remote member's transport is lost **or** we're unable to decrypt their media, show a spinner on the name tag of their user media tiles:

This should replace the "waiting for media" overlay.

In cases where there is no name tag, it should look like this:

Research direction

Start by locating the user media tile and existing “waiting for media” overlay, then trace how lost remote transport and media decryption failures reach that UI. Compare the linked Figma designs for tiles with and without a name tag; done means the spinner replaces the overlay in both cases.
