Subject: [PATCH 3/3] fix: keep mobile Verticals submenu interactions contained
 on outside-click

The document mousedown handler closed the Verticals dropdown whenever the
target was outside the desktop dropdown container, so taps on the mobile
submenu (links and toggle) unmounted the target before click fired. Track
the mobile menu with its own ref and treat clicks inside either container
as contained.
