FN-5936: fix auto-merge board stabilization on mobile

Keep the dashboard board visible when auto-merge toggles across viewport changes.

- keep board stabilization subscribed to visualViewport resize events instead of removing the listener after the first resize
- add regression coverage for Android, iOS, tablet, desktop, empty-column, rollback, and error-boundary auto-merge toggle paths
- relax settings hydration assertions and expand app-settings tests for auto-merge rollback and coercion behavior

+Fix the dashboard auto-merge toggle blanking on mobile by keeping board stabilization tied to viewport events instead of a one-shot resize listener.
+
+The in-review board now stays visible when auto-merge is toggled across Android mobile, iOS mobile, tablet, and desktop layouts, with regression coverage for populated and empty columns plus rollback and error-boundary paths.
