#364 Split Hide Names & Avatars into separate toggles

[Anonymous]

Originally created by: kristofferR

Problem

Hide Names & Avatars is one combined toggle (settings.rs:117). Some people only want to hide faces (for example when screen sharing photos of others), or only names. fMess offers avatar-only hiding (v0.1.25).

Design

• Split into two settings: Hide avatars and Hide names, plus the existing shortcut toggling both.
• Migrate hide_names_avatars: true to both on.
• Notifications with hidden previews follow the same split (no sender face when avatars are hidden).

Testing

Each combination across the conversation list, thread header, in-thread avatars, reactions, the recent-threads menu and notifications. Use the privacy probe (__carrier_mcp_privacy_probe__) to confirm coverage.

Part of [#349].

Landed in [#389] (separate Hide names and Hide avatars toggles) and [#401] (no nested blurs, which made hovering lag). Tested live with a test account, including group previews and @mentions.

It is on main and ships in the next release.
