Limit PhotosPicker to iOS only to fix CI

PhotosPickerItem has SDK availability issues on macOS in CI.
Change PhotosPicker from canImport(PhotosUI) to os(iOS) only.

macOS users can still import images via file importer (.fileImporter).
This is actually cleaner as macOS file picker is more familiar to users.

Fixes CI build failures.

-# ChatViewModel Extensions
-
-This directory contains extensions to `ChatViewModel` to modularize its functionality.
-
-- `ChatViewModel+Tor.swift`: Handles Tor lifecycle events and notifications.
-- `ChatViewModel+PrivateChat.swift`: Manages private chat logic, media transfers (images, voice notes), and file handling.
-- `ChatViewModel+Nostr.swift`: Contains all logic related to Nostr integration, Geohash channels, and Nostr identity management.
-
-The main `ChatViewModel.swift` retains core state, initialization, and coordination logic.
