Description
When a user taps a message item in the Compose MessageListScreen, the MessageItemEvent.OnMessageClick event is dispatched but silently dropped - no state transition, no side effect, no navigation occurs.
Connect MessageItemEvent.OnMessageClick to the legacy MessageListFragment.onMessageClicked() so that tapping a message opens the message detail / thread view, matching legacy behaviour.
Acceptance Criteria
MessageItemEvent.OnMessageClickis handled in the state machine (SetupLoadedMessagesState).- A
MessageListEffectis emitted that triggers the legacy navigation path. - The side effect or bridge invokes
MessageListFragment's existing click handler (onMessageClicked/showThread). - No new navigation logic is introduced - only wiring to existing handlers.
- Behaviour matches the legacy XML-based message list.
Out of Scope:
- Changing navigation architecture or introducing Compose Navigation.
- Modifying the legacy click handler logic.
