Show project status dots when collapsed in the sidebar

[maria-rcks]

This keeps important thread activity visible even when a project is collapsed.

What Changed

• show a status dot on collapsed project rows when any thread inside the project has a notable sidebar status
• reuse the existing thread status precedence so actionable states win over passive ones
• keep the existing chevron behavior when the project is expanded or when there is no meaningful status to surface
• add focused tests for project-level status rollup precedence

Why

Right now, collapsing a project hides all thread-level status context. That makes it easy to miss that something completed, is awaiting input, or needs approval unless the project is expanded.

This change keeps the sidebar compact while still preserving the most important signal at the project level.

I did not find an exact existing issue for the collapsed-project indicator.

Note

Show project status dots on collapsed sidebar project headers

• Adds a colored dot (with optional pulse) to collapsed project headers in Sidebar.tsx, summarizing the highest-priority thread status across the project's threads.
• Introduces resolveProjectStatusIndicator in Sidebar.logic.ts, which scans thread statuses and returns the highest-priority one using a new THREAD_STATUS_PRIORITY map.
• The chevron icon is hidden behind the dot when collapsed and only appears on hover; expanded headers continue to show the rotating chevron as before.

Tip

You can make CodeRabbit's review stricter and more nitpicky using the `assertive` profile, if that's what you prefer.

Change the reviews.profile setting to assertive to make CodeRabbit's nitpick more issues in your PRs.

Looks clean and useful for people that are working on multi projects

Is the dot bigger than the chevron?

[maria-rcks]

I think it looks fine, dk if julius / theo wants me to change this (if so i'll do)

[zortos293]

you could do an hover to show the chevron

[UtkarshUsername]

Oh, the height is diferent, but then decreasing that would also decrease the width of the dot (as it's a circle). So, this is ok I guess then. Maybe you could try that and see how it looks

[UtkarshUsername]

This is not really a problem, it just looks big to me because the status dot is smaller when it is beside a thread's name
