Bohan Jiang b1d874ef50 fix(timeline): rescue orphaned replies + bump page size to 50 (#2263)
Two related changes for the same UX problem (#1857 follow-up).

1. Orphan-reply rescue. The grouping in issue-detail.tsx put replies under
   their parent's CommentCard, looking them up via repliesByParent.get(parentId).
   When a reply's parent wasn't in the loaded timeline — pagination boundary,
   merge truncation, future backend bug — the entire reply subtree dropped
   off the screen, since the orphan replies sat in the map with no
   CommentCard around to render them. MUL-1847 hit this on the OLD backend:
   1 root + 29 replies, the root was the oldest entry and the merge dropped
   it, so all 29 replies vanished from the UI even though the API returned
   them.

   The fix: a reply whose parent_id points to a comment NOT in the loaded
   timeline is promoted to top-level. It still loses its visual indentation
   under the missing parent, but it stops disappearing.

2. Page size 50. With activities now decoupled from the comment budget
   (#2253) and the off-by-one fixed (#2259), 50 fits the typical issue
   without any "Show older" interaction. Cost is bounded — SQL fetches
   limit+1 = 51 comments + 50 activities through the keyset index from
   migration 068; response body grows ~70% over 30 but stays well under
   the legacy compat path's 200-row cap. UI renders 100 entries
   comfortably; CommentCards memoize.

   Frontend default in `client.ts` (`limit = 50`) matches the new backend
   default (`timelineDefaultLimit = 50`) so pages walk consistently.

Test: render-level case in `issue-detail.test.tsx` mocks a timeline page
containing only an orphaned reply (parent_id refers to a missing id) and
asserts the reply text appears.
