 - Message actions are now driven by Telegram-like context UI:
   - tap -> context sheet actions,
   - long-press -> selection mode flow.
+
+### Step 138 - Multi-select UX closer to Telegram
+- Refined selection top bar:
+  - removed extra overflow/load action from selection mode,
+  - kept focused actions only: close, selected count, forward, delete.
+- In `MULTI` selection mode, composer is now replaced with a compact bottom action row:
+  - `Reply` (enabled for single selected message),
+  - `Forward`.
