Research direction

Start by reproducing the composing-window behavior when clicking outside before auto-save, then trace the compose-window and auto-save handling described in the issue. Identify where the discard action is triggered and add the confirmation flow there. Done means an unsaved composed message prompts before discard, with explicit discard and cancel choices.
