fix(mosaic): cap popover height to the available viewport space

[alexcarpenter]

Description

On mobile, opening the PhoneInput country picker focuses the search field and brings up the keyboard. The Popover popup was capped at min(80dvh, 36rem), and dvh ignores the keyboard, so the popup grew past the visible area and the focused search input scrolled out of view.

The popup now caps its height with --cl-available-height, which the cssVars middleware already sets on every floating element. Floating UI measures that value against visualViewport, so it shrinks when the keyboard is open. The country list is the scroll area inside the popup, so it shrinks and the search field stays visible. 80dvh stays as the fallback for the first frame, before the variable is set.

This applies to every Mosaic Popover, not only PhoneInput.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The popover’s maximum height now uses --cl-available-height when set, with 80dvh as the fallback, and retains the 36rem cap. The changeset file contains empty YAML front matter and no release entries.
