Code Review
This pull request introduces a significant set of UI/UX improvements across the application, including a major overhaul of the chat interface, a new processing/capture widget with a shimmer effect, and a floating chat button on all pages. The code is well-refactored in many places, such as extracting the tab change logic in the action items page.
My review focuses on a couple of areas for improvement. I've pointed out a potential state management issue in the new MessageActionBar widget that could lead to a stale UI. I've also identified duplicated logic for generating summaries, which could be refactored to improve maintainability.
Overall, these are great enhancements to the user experience.

The _selectedNps state is initialized from widget.currentNps in initState, but it won't update if the parent widget rebuilds with a new currentNps value. This can lead to the UI showing a stale selection state. You should implement didUpdateWidget to handle updates to widget.currentNps and keep the state in sync.
}
@override
void didUpdateWidget(covariant MessageActionBar oldWidget) {
super.didUpdateWidget(oldWidget);
if (widget.currentNps != oldWidget.currentNps) {
setState(() {
_selectedNps = widget.currentNps;
});
}

This logic to determine the summary content is duplicated in conversation_detail/page.dart, conversation_detail/share.dart, and conversation_detail/widgets.dart. To improve maintainability and avoid potential inconsistencies, consider extracting this logic into a getter on the ServerConversation model. For example:
// In ServerConversation class
String get displaySummary {
if (appResults.isNotEmpty && appResults[0].content.trim().isNotEmpty) {
return appResults[0].content.trim();
}
return structured.toString();
}Then you can simplify the call sites to use provider.conversation.displaySummary.
