fix: filter partial form fields and fix centered text in scroll mode

[torlando-tech]

Summary

• Partial field filtering: PartialManager.buildFormDataJson now only forwards form fields declared by each partial's fieldNames list, matching NomadNet TUI's __get_partial_request_data() behavior. "*" = all fields, empty list = none. Prevents undeclared fields (e.g. password inputs) from leaking to unrelated partial endpoints.
• Scroll-mode centering: Centered/right-aligned lines in MONOSPACE_SCROLL mode now use exact viewport width (fillMaxWidth + TextAlign) so text actually centers instead of left-aligning with widthIn(min=).
• Test update: MicronParserTest.backtick before link with formatting now uses a real-world NomadNet node index line with trailing text after a styled link.

Test plan

• Browse a NomadNet page with partials that declare specific fields — verify only those fields are forwarded
• Browse a page with centered text in scroll mode — verify it actually centers
• Run :micron:testDebugUnitTest — updated parser test passes

Greptile Summary

This PR primarily adds partial form-field filtering to PartialManager (matching NomadNet TUI's __get_partial_request_data() semantics) and improves link-establishment reliability with a 3-attempt retry loop in rns_api.py. The parser test is updated to reflect a real-world NomadNet node index line.

Key changes:

• PartialManager.buildFormDataJson now filters form fields to only those declared in each partial's fieldNames list ("*" = all, [] = none, explicit list = filtered). fieldNames is correctly threaded through all PartialState transitions (LOADING, LOADED, ERROR, refresh).
• rns_api.py Phase 4 now retries link establishment up to 3 times instead of failing on the first dropped packet. The late-binding closure bug (stale callback from a prior loop iteration setting the new iteration's Event) is correctly fixed using default-argument capture.
• MicronParserTest backtick before link with formatting test now exercises a more realistic input with a space-containing label, a : prefixed destination, and trailing text after the link.

Important discrepancy — PR title is stale: The PR title and description claim to "fix centered text in scroll mode," but this change was introduced in commit 4bb570d3 and then explicitly reverted in commit e502ab11 because it caused ASCII-art lines to word-wrap instead of scroll horizontally. The final net effect on MicronComposables.kt relative to the base branch is zero — centered/right-aligned text in MONOSPACE_SCROLL mode is still left-aligned. The PR title and summary bullet should be updated to remove the centering claim, and the known limitation could be documented in a follow-up issue.

Confidence Score: 4/5

• Safe to merge for the field-filtering and retry logic; PR title/description should be updated to remove the reverted centering claim before merging.
• The code changes themselves are well-implemented and logically correct. The field-filtering logic matches the NomadNet TUI reference, fieldNames is consistently propagated through all state transitions, and the closure-capture fix in the retry loop is sound. The only functional concern is a misleading log message. The main non-code issue is that the PR title/description advertises a centering fix that was reverted within the same PR, which could confuse reviewers and changelog readers.
• python/rns_api.py — verify the per-attempt timeout arithmetic (per_attempt_base) is consistent with actual RNS link establishment timing expectations in production.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
app/src/main/java/com/lxmf/messenger/nomadnet/PartialManager.kt	Adds fieldNames propagation through PartialState and filters form data to only include fields declared by each partial (matching NomadNet TUI behavior). Logic is correct: "*" = all fields, empty list = none, explicit list = filtered subset. All call-sites updated consistently.
python/rns_api.py	Refactors link establishment into a retry loop (up to 3 attempts). Closure capture is correctly fixed via default-argument binding. Minor issue: the "all attempts exhausted" warning log always reports MAX_LINK_ATTEMPTS regardless of how many attempts actually ran before a deadline-break, which can mislead debugging.
micron/src/test/java/com/lxmf/messenger/micron/MicronParserTest.kt	Test updated to use a real-world NomadNet node index line including a space-containing link label (by CupsofJade), a : prefixed destination, and trailing text after the link. All assertions are correct and the test covers the intended parser behavior.

   Attempt count in warning log is always MAX_LINK_ATTEMPTS

   The warning log always reports "failed after 3 attempts" regardless of how many attempts actually ran. If remaining < 5 fires on the first iteration (deadline already near-exhausted coming into Phase 4), the break exits after zero real link attempts, but the log still reads "failed after 3 attempts (last_status=None, last_reason=None)" — which is misleading during debugging.

   Tracking the actual attempt number (e.g. attempts_made) and using that in the log would make post-mortem analysis more accurate:

           attempts_made = 0
           for attempt in range(1, MAX_LINK_ATTEMPTS + 1):
               ...
               remaining = deadline - time.time()
               if remaining < 5:
                   break
   
               attempts_made += 1
               ...
   
           # All attempts exhausted
           log_warning("RnsApi", "request_nomadnet_page",
                      f"Link to {dest_hash_hex[:16]} failed after {attempts_made} attempt(s) "
                      f"(last_status={last_status}, last_reason={last_reason})")

Comment:
**Attempt count in warning log is always `MAX_LINK_ATTEMPTS`**

The warning log always reports "failed after 3 attempts" regardless of how many attempts actually ran. If `remaining < 5` fires on the first iteration (deadline already near-exhausted coming into Phase 4), the `break` exits after zero real link attempts, but the log still reads "failed after 3 attempts (last_status=None, last_reason=None)" — which is misleading during debugging.

Tracking the actual attempt number (e.g. `attempts_made`) and using that in the log would make post-mortem analysis more accurate:

```python
        attempts_made = 0
        for attempt in range(1, MAX_LINK_ATTEMPTS + 1):
            ...
            remaining = deadline - time.time()
            if remaining < 5:
                break

            attempts_made += 1
            ...

        # All attempts exhausted
        log_warning("RnsApi", "request_nomadnet_page",
                   f"Link to {dest_hash_hex[:16]} failed after {attempts_made} attempt(s) "
                   f"(last_status={last_status}, last_reason={last_reason})")
```
