✂️ fix: Unicode-Safe Title Truncation and Shared View Layout Polish (#12003)

* fix: title sanitization with max length truncation and update ShareView for better text display

- Added functionality to `sanitizeTitle` to truncate titles exceeding 200 characters with an ellipsis, ensuring consistent title length.
- Updated `ShareView` component to apply a line clamp on the title, improving text display and preventing overflow in the UI.

* refactor: Update layout and styling in MessagesView and ShareView components

- Removed unnecessary padding in MessagesView to streamline the layout.
- Increased bottom padding in the message container for better spacing.
- Enhanced ShareView footer positioning and styling for improved visibility.
- Adjusted section and div classes in ShareView for better responsiveness and visual consistency.

* fix: Correct title fallback and enhance sanitization logic in sanitizeTitle

- Updated the fallback title in sanitizeTitle to use DEFAULT_TITLE_FALLBACK instead of a hardcoded string.
- Improved title truncation logic to ensure proper handling of maximum length and whitespace, including edge cases for emoji and whitespace-only titles.
- Added tests to validate the new sanitization behavior, ensuring consistent and expected results across various input scenarios.
