Sidebar: resizable width and icons-only collapsed mode (spec-promised) #358
Description
Spec audit finding (PRODUCT-SPEC section 4): 'Width: resizable; collapsed mode shows icons only' was marked post-MVP and never built. No drag handle or width state exists in src/components/Sidebar.tsx (only group-collapse flags). The app is well past MVP; dense-project users need this. Drag handle + persisted width; CSS-only collapsed icons mode as stretch.

The resizing portion is now being implemented as part of thread UX phase three (#1351), with a Grok worker on persisted desktop width, keyboard/pointer controls, bounds and narrow-drawer preservation. Icons-only collapse remains outside this phase. This issue is left open until its remaining scope is reconciled after review.

The sidebar-resizing portion is implemented and merged locally into codex/thread-worker-ux as 14a8a98 under #1351. Width defaults to300px, persists within280–480px, yields to viewport/agents space without overwriting the saved preference, and supports pointer cancellation plus keyboard resize/reset. Narrow drawers keep their existing width. Combined build/typecheck and264 postmerge renderer checks passed; native Electron resizing, fit, reduced motion and reload persistence were verified. Icons-only collapsed mode is not implemented by this change, so this issue remains open. No release/install yet.

Shipped: the sidebar is resizable (
src/app/useSidebarResize.ts) and collapses with ⌘B. Project/thread icons in the collapsed rail are a small follow-up if wanted. Closing in the 2026-10-09 board cleanup (#1532).
