What changed

The message navigation bar now defaults to Message Anchor instead of None.

Why this matters to the user

New users and v1 users who never selected a message navigation mode will see the message anchor rail beside conversations. Existing saved selections remain unchanged.

What the user should do

Nothing — automatic. Users can still choose None or Navigation Buttons in Message Settings.

Notes for release manager

This changes only the fallback for a missing preference. It does not overwrite an existing chat.message.navigation_mode value.
