[ALIGNMENT] Reorder bottom navigation tabs to canonical order #5543

Description

@garthvh

Summary

Reorder the bottom navigation tabs to match the cross-platform canonical order defined in the Menu Alignment Audit.

Canonical Tab Order

# Canonical Label Current Android Label Change Required
1 Messages Conversations Rename to "Messages" (already position 1)
2 Nodes Nodes None (label OK, already position 2)
3 Map Map None (label OK, already position 3)
4 Settings Settings None (label OK, already position 4)
5 Connect Connections Rename to "Connect"; stays position 5

Rationale

  • Messages first: primary use-case; matches SMS/messaging-app conventions. "Conversations" → "Messages" for cross-platform consistency.
  • Connect last: device pairing is needed mainly at setup or when switching hardware; less frequently used once paired. "Connections" → "Connect" for cross-platform consistency.
  • Tab order already matches the canonical order on Android — only label changes needed.

Acceptance Criteria

  • "Conversations" tab renamed to "Messages"
  • "Connections" tab renamed to "Connect"
  • Tab order remains: Messages, Nodes, Map, Settings, Connect
  • Deep links / state restoration still function correctly after rename
