This change adds notification badges to the new footer tabs on mobile chat, to help users easily find areas where there’s new activity to review.
When on mobile chat:
- Show a badge on the DMs footer when there is unread activity in DMs.
- Show a badge on the Channels footer tab when there is unread channel activity.
- Show a badge on the Threads footer tab when there is unread activity in a followed thread.
- Notification badges should be removed once the unread activity is viewed.
Additionally this change will:
- Show green notification badges for channel mentions or DMs
- Show blue notification badges for unread messages in channels or threads

Fixes an issue with delayed rendering of the My Threads tab in chat mobile footer.
Previously we made an ajax request to determine the number of threads a user had before rendering the tab, however it is much faster (and better UX) if we can rely on a site setting for this.
The new chat_threads_enabled site setting is set to true when the site has chat channels with threading enabled.
This change moves the "Channels" tab to first position in the chat footer nav, and loads it as the default page when opening chat for the first time on mobile.
This update adds three tabs to the bottom of the chat overlay to make it easier for users to navigate chat on mobile.
As a result of this change:
- Direct Messages are now shown separately from public channels on mobile
- My Threads has now moved from the channel list to it's own tab on mobile
- My Threads can still be accessed on desktop via the sidebar and within the drawer channel list
- Chat back button has been updated to navigate to the correct tab (for both channels and threads)
Some special cases:
- If DMs are not used then the tab is not rendered
- If the user has no threads then the tab is not rendered
- If both the tabs for DMs and Threads aren't available then the whole footer will not be rendered
- Chat footer is only shown on the listing pages (DMs, Channels, My Threads)
