Subject: [PATCH] Add collapsible sidebar with a chunky early-web toggle tab
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

A vertical handle tab on the seam between the sidebar and the canvas
toggles the side panel open / closed. State persists to localStorage
so the panel stays where the user left it across reloads.

Style choices to match the existing chunky early-web aesthetic:

- Hard right edge with a small 4px corner, no left border (visually
  fuses with the sidebar edge).
- Manual two-tone bevel via inset box-shadow — light top, dark
  bottom — for the old-school extruded-tab look, without using
  border-style: ridge/outset (which modern browsers render
  inconsistently).
- Monospace bold guillemet glyph: « when open, » when collapsed.
- Hover paints accent-blue; active state nudges 1px right (chunky
  click feedback).
- Dark-mode-aware bevel colours.

Positioning:

- Fixed at top: 24px so it aligns with the logo row instead of
  floating mid-screen on top of editor toolbars (the original
  mid-screen position obscured the pixel and vector editor
  toolbars).
- Height 44px — compact enough not to dominate the header.
- Slides smoothly with the sidebar via `left` transition matched
  to the grid-template-columns animation (220ms ease).
- When collapsed, the pixelEditorBar / canvasToolbar / toolPalette
  get a 26px padding-left so their leftmost buttons don't sit
  under the tab.

Trade-off worth noting: the responsive `minmax(340px, 420px)`
sidebar width has been replaced with a fixed `380px` because
grid-template-columns doesn't smoothly interpolate between
minmax() and a plain length. 380px is in the middle of the
original range and works on every viewport size we care about.
