ksmithandClaude Sonnet 5 1d9fe25410 Fix hidden DMs not reappearing live, and the recurring idle-transaction leak
Two related fixes:

1. A hidden DM's un-hide-on-new-message path only cleared
   RoomMembership.hidden_at in the DB -- it never told an already-open
   client to refresh. The only existing signal for that room
   (unread_update) does setRooms(prev => prev.map(...)), which is a
   no-op for a room that isn't in `prev` at all -- exactly what a
   hidden DM is. Now broadcasts the same room_added signal a brand new
   DM gets (via UPDATE ... RETURNING to know exactly who was
   un-hidden), reusing the fix already established for that class of
   bug.

2. While debugging #1's test, found the actual root cause behind the
   deploy-blocking migrations from earlier this session: every
   WebSocket connection shares one AsyncSession for its entire
   lifetime, and SQLAlchemy opens a transaction implicitly on first
   use. Nothing ever committed it -- not the initial auth lookup, not
   any of the several read-then-continue branches in the message loop
   (join/message/edit/reaction all check membership this way). A
   connection that's just sitting open (which for a real user can be
   hours) was holding that transaction open the entire time, which is
   exactly what blocked ALTER TABLE twice in production this session
   (confirmed both times via pg_stat_activity -- idle in transaction
   for 30+ minutes on this exact query shape). Now commits once after
   connection setup and once after every frame via a try/finally
   wrapping the whole dispatch, so no exit path (including the many
   `continue`s) can leave a transaction open while idling on the next
   receive_json().

Verified end-to-end in the browser (a hidden DM reappears in an
already-open tab with zero reload when the other person messages
again) and via a new WS-level test reproducing the exact scenario.
