Fixes #265 and #277. Pins @lotusguild/element-call-embedded 0.25.0-lotus.27 (element-call #57, #58).

#265, phone call layout

In the compact layout (phones, narrow windows) the bar stacked into four rows (~330 px, 40% of a portrait phone). It's now one row: mic, deafen, camera, chat, soundboard, More, and an icon-only End (aria-label="End Call").
Screenshare, the screenshare-audio mute and fullscreen move into More. "Share Screen" is only offered where getDisplayMedia exists.
Self-view: upstream EC hides your own tile on mobile while your camera is off, which in voice rooms is nearly always. lotus.27 keeps it, falling back to your avatar (element-call #58).
The desktop layout is unchanged apart from #277.

#277, "Mute Screenshare Audio"

It showed whenever screensharing was allowed, as a speaker icon that did nothing.
The fork now reports remote screenshare audio (io.lotus.screenshare_audio_state { present }, element-call #57). CallControl tracks it, and the button (desktop) or More item (phone) shows while remote screenshare audio is playing, or while it's muted. A hidden mute therefore can't silently swallow the next share.

Verified (two-person call on the local stack, with the published lotus.27):

	result
phone 390×844	bar 1 row, 68 px, fully on screen. Buttons: mic, deafen, camera, chat, soundboard, More, End Call. More lists Share Screen, Mute Screenshare Audio (when present), Fullscreen, Spotlight, Reactions, Settings
phone 360×740	1 row, 68 px, fits
self-view	your tile bottom-right with avatar, name and mic state
desktop bar, no share	no screenshare-audio button
fork reports `present: true` / `false`	button appears / disappears

Headless Chrome can't produce a real screenshare with audio, so the call frame posted the fork's exact action for the last row.

Unit test: parseScreenshareAudioState handles valid values and garbage. tsc and lint are clean.

fix(call): one-row call bar on phones; screenshare-audio mute only when useful (#265 , #277 ) 3418a8865d

#265: in the compact layout (phones, narrow windows) the control bar
stacked into four rows (~330px, 40% of a portrait phone). It is now one
row: mic, deafen, camera, chat, soundboard, More and an icon-only End.
Screenshare, its audio mute and fullscreen move into More; Share Screen
is only offered where getDisplayMedia exists. (The self-view comes from
the fork, lotus.27.)

#277: "Mute Screenshare Audio" showed whenever screensharing was allowed,
as a speaker icon that did nothing. It now shows while the fork reports
remote screenshare audio (io.lotus.screenshare_audio_state), or while it
is muted, so a hidden mute cannot silence the next share.

lotus.27 reports remote screenshare audio (element-call#57) and keeps
your own tile on phones with the camera off (element-call#58).
