Centralize platform gating and fix iPad/tablet support

Add `packages/app/src/constants/platform.ts` with canonical gates
(isWeb, isNative, getIsElectron) and refactor all ~100 ad-hoc
Platform.OS checks across 69 files to use shared imports.

Fix sidebar hover crash on native (onPointerEnter → onHoverIn),
fix tooltip to use breakpoint instead of platform detection, make
sidebar action buttons always visible on native where hover doesn't
work, and document the platform gating decision matrix in CLAUDE.md.
