Closes LC-371. Part of the LC-364 redesign epic.

What

Makes the populated room/DM list read as scannable, grouped sections. Files: partials/sidebar_nav.html, partials/sidebar_room_row.html, partials/sidebar_peer_row.html, base.html, main.css.

Collapsible top-level groups. Starred / Channels / Direct messages each get a chevron toggle header (lc-section-label typography). The collapsed set is device-local: it persists in localStorage and on <html data-lc-collapsed-groups>, set no-flash by the base.html bootstrap, exactly like the unread-only filter. Body hiding + chevron rotation are pure CSS keyed on that attribute, so a collapsed group never flashes open and survives the sidebar's OOB swaps with no JS scan. aria-expanded is synced from the attribute on load and every htmx settle.
Stronger active + unread styling. Active room/DM uses a new .lc-room-row-active (soft accent fill + a left accent bar via inset shadow, no layout shift) plus aria-current="page". An unread, unmuted row bolds its name; a muted room stays subtle.
Consistent rows. Room rows gain a fixed-width leading # / voice glyph so their text aligns with the DM avatars at one row rhythm.
Category headers (server-persisted collapse) migrated to the same lc-section-label typography for consistency.

Preserved

data-lc-sb-section / data-lc-sb-row, drag-and-drop (data-room-list / data-positions-url / draggable / data-room-id), the id-keyed unread/mention/draft badge spans for live OOB swaps, per-room mark-read + star, the category rename/delete/move menus, and the add-room / add-category forms. The unread-only CSS filter still matches because the badges stay inside each data-lc-sb-section. No backend or route changes; no new i18n keys.

Testing

./dev/cargo check -p lets-chat-server - clean.
just build-css - clean.
just test and just test-saas - both green (incl. routes_enclave_nav).

Make the populated room/DM list read as scannable, grouped sections.

The three top-level sections (Starred / Channels / Direct messages) become device-local collapsible groups. The header is a chevron toggle button (lc-section-label typography) driving a new window.__lcToggleGroup; the collapsed set persists in localStorage and on <html data-lc-collapsed-groups>, set no-flash by the base.html bootstrap exactly like the unread-only filter. Body hiding and chevron rotation are pure CSS keyed on that attribute, so a collapsed group never flashes open and the state survives the sidebar's OOB swaps with no JS scan. aria-expanded on the toggles is synced from the attribute on load and on every htmx settle. The enclave category headers (which keep their server-persisted collapse) are migrated to the same lc-section-label typography for consistency.

Active and unread styling is strengthened: the active room/DM uses a new .lc-room-row-active (soft accent fill plus a left accent bar via inset shadow, no layout shift) and aria-current="page"; an unread, unmuted row bolds its name (font-semibold text-content); a muted room stays subtle. Room rows gain a fixed-width leading #/voice glyph so their text aligns with the DM avatars at one row rhythm.

All existing hooks are preserved: data-lc-sb-section / data-lc-sb-row, drag-and-drop (data-room-list / data-positions-url / draggable / data-room-id), the id-keyed unread/mention/draft badge spans for live OOB swaps, the per-room mark-read and star affordances, the category rename/delete/move menus, and the add-room / add-category forms. The unread-only CSS filter still matches because the badges remain inside each data-lc-sb-section. No backend or route changes; no new i18n keys.
