Subject: [PATCH] fix(ios): separate top bar buttons on iOS 26 with zero-width
 spacers

On iOS 26 (Liquid Glass), multiple UIBarButtonItems in the navigation bar merge into a single visual platter when placed adjacent to each other. This makes it impossible for users to distinguish individual buttons.

Insert zero-width fixed-space items between bar button items so the system renders each button as a separate element. Gated behind @available(iOS 26.0, *) so earlier versions are unaffected.

Fixes #8203
