fix(toast): guard setToasts against post-unmount async callbacks

  An async handler (e.g. LoginPage's catch-handler on a failed login
  request) can call showToast AFTER Vitest's afterEach has unmounted the
  ToastProvider. The existing unmount effect clears timers it knows about,
  but a showToast scheduled POST-unmount lands a fresh 3s setTimeout that
  the cleanup never saw. The callback then runs against a torn-down jsdom
  — setToasts → React scheduler → accesses window → ReferenceError as an
  uncaught exception in test output ("Vitest caught 1 unhandled error").

  Add an isMountedRef flipped to false in the unmount cleanup; every
  setToasts call (showToast, showPersistentToast, dismissToast, both
  dispatch-toast auto-dismiss timers) short-circuits when the provider is
  gone. The timer callback re-checks the ref as a belt-and-braces guard
  for timers scheduled after cleanup already ran.

  In production this only hardens the code; the provider lives at app
  root and does not unmount during normal navigation.

  Tests: 4 new regression cases in __tests__/contexts/ToastContext.test.tsx
  covering post-unmount showToast / showPersistentToast / dismissToast
  no-oping, and the auto-dismiss timer firing post-unmount without
  throwing. Full suite: 1381 pass, 0 unhandled errors (was 1377 + 1
  uncaught exception). TypeScript check clean.

+ * Regression: a login response handler calling showToast AFTER the provider
+ * had already been unmounted by Vitest's afterEach scheduled a 3s setTimeout
+ * that fired during test teardown. The callback's setToasts then tried to
+ * schedule a React update against a torn-down jsdom, producing
+ * "window is not defined" as an uncaught exception.

+ * The provider now gates every setToasts call on an isMountedRef and
+ * re-checks inside the auto-dismiss setTimeout callback so stale async
