Valere 979b521563 Build Element Call as a component a host can import
Adds component/index.tsx as a fourth build target: <ElementCall client
roomId /> and an initializeElementCall to await once beforehand. It gives
Element Call everything it would otherwise take from the page it is on —
the parameters, the host bridge, media devices, translations, a container
to confine itself to — and hands it the host's client rather than finding
one of its own.

React, the Matrix SDK and LiveKit stay external, since the host has them
and a second copy of any would not merely be wasteful: React would hold
two sets of hooks and the client would run two sync loops. Every subpath
has to be listed by name, because the pattern and callback forms of
rollupOptions.external are silently ignored here — a lesson worth the
comment that records it.

Element Call's own navigation runs in a MemoryRouter, so being embedded
cannot disturb the host's URL. ClientContext and GroupCallView both
navigate, so some router has to be present.

The bundle is not yet a reasonable size: library mode base64-inlines
assets referenced through import.meta.url, so MediaPipe's vision runtime
lands in it whole. Left for its own change, since the fix — loading the
background blur transformer lazily — is worth doing for the standalone app
too.

Valere 856e055d30 Find Element Call's root by attribute, not by being the body
Six selectors named `body` directly — the gradient backdrop and the
platform font overrides in index.css, and the iOS adjustments in
AppBar.module.css and Modal.module.css — so they only applied when Element
Call owned the page. A host mounting it into a container would have got an
interface decorated correctly and styled incorrectly, with nothing to show
that anything was wrong.

Mark the root element with data-element-call-root and match on that
instead. Scoping this way keeps the selectors more specific than they were,
rather than less: widening them to a bare [data-platform=…] would have
dropped specificity from (0,1,1) to (0,1,0) and changed which rules win.

The platform attribute moves with them, from the initializer's write onto
document.body to a layout effect on the root, alongside the theme — so it
still lands before anything is painted.

No visual change while Element Call owns the page: the root is the body,
which now carries the attribute, so every rewritten selector matches the
element it always did.

Valere 873dfdbfbd Drop the unused root element provider
RootElementProvider was exported but never used: nothing supplies a root
element, so every consumer falls back to the document body. Knip reports
it, which is what is failing CI.

M1 adds a provider back along with the component that mounts Element Call
into a container. Until then there is nothing to provide.

Valere e68d1d1b5f Say what the root element seam cannot do yet
RootElementContext's documentation promised that Element Call confines its
decoration to the given element, but several selectors still name body
directly and the initializer writes data-platform onto it. A non-body root
is decorated correctly and styled incorrectly, with no error to show for
it, so the documentation should say so until the stylesheets are scoped.

Valere 0dca5835f6 Route Element Call's DOM decoration through an injectable root element
Element Call writes its theme classes, background and layout attributes
straight onto document.body, and portals its modals there too. That is
only correct while it owns the page; embedded in a host application it
has to confine itself to the container it was mounted into.

Add a RootElementContext, defaulting to document.body so that the
standalone and widget builds are unaffected, and point the theme classes,
data-background, no-scroll-body and the fullscreen target at it.

Give the Modal and Toast portals an explicit container as well. Radix and
vaul both default to document.body, so without this every modal, drawer
and toast would render outside the container and lose the theme and
platform attributes set on it.

No functional change: the root element is document.body until an embedder
provides otherwise.
