Update joining message to assure user

A slow share-accept could sit on a single 'Joining puzzle…' line for
many seconds, reading as a stall. The join itself exposes no observable
stages (only coarse start/complete signals), so the placeholder now
cycles its message purely on elapsed time to keep signalling that work
is still underway. A one-second ticker in the view's .task drives the
change; it is cancelled with the view when the placeholder clears on
join. The text cross-fades between stages. The accessibility label stays
static for now.
