User: "When in the "new post" screen, you can click a channel to "see" an unread post, marking it as read. You can do this over and over without closing the "new post" screen and keep marking posts you never saw as read"

Cause: the reading column shows one pane by priority (search > profile > channel directory > inbox > composer > channel status > post). Reading actions (a channel in the list, "Läs nästa"/space, a post link) read the next post and mark it read, but don't close the pane in front of it, so the post is never seen. Same with the inbox, the directory, search and a profile open.

Fix: anything that shows a post or channel first closes what's in front of it. A draft being written is kept (it's saved on the device as it's typed) and a line "Ditt utkast är sparat — Fortsätt skriva / Släng" stays above the reader until it's resumed, sent or thrown away.

Fixed in #193 (merged). Reading actions now close the composer, inbox, directory, search or profile before showing the post they read; an open draft is kept with a "Ditt utkast är sparat — Fortsätt skriva / Släng" line. Verified with e2e/tests/unseen.spec.ts (draft with text: post visible, draft resumable and discardable; empty composer just closes; inbox closes) on desktop, Android and iPhone, plus the drafts, inbox and compose specs; screenshots draft-aside.png checked.
