Brings in https://github.com/christianhaberl/Codeman/pull/4 (three commits,
authorship preserved) and adapts it across the 211 commits master gained
since the branch was cut:
- App Settings control re-authored for the set-* surface (PR #278): a
set-row in Layout -> Tabs, replacing the old settings-item markup the
branch targeted. i18n description synced.
- Lineage arcs (PR #291, post-branch) are SKIPPED in sidebar layout:
computeLineagePath()'s U-bridge geometry hangs from the horizontal
strip's bottom edge and has no meaning against a vertical list. The
lineage strip-scroll listener now also redraws subagent/ultracode
connectors while the sidebar scrolls vertically.
- The desktop home tab rail (post-branch) defers to the sidebar: both dock
the session list flush left, and the rail would render z-ordered under it.
- Active-row reveal unified into _scrollActiveTabIntoView() (#257 landed on
master after the branch): sidebar mode branches to scrollIntoView
block:'nearest', and _fullRenderSessionTabs() restores scrollTop alongside
the #257 scrollLeft restore so ambient rebuilds cannot yank a mid-scroll
sidebar back to the top.
- Mobile active-tab hoisting the branch guarded against no longer exists on
master (removed by #257); kept master's order-stable render.
Verified: typecheck, lint, format:check, check:frontend-syntax,
check:public-assets, PostCSS parse of both merged stylesheets, the 26 new
jsdom tests, the structural guard suites, and the headless-Chromium harness
(scripts/verify-session-sidebar.mts) green across all seven layout states
at 1600/1000/393px against current master.

The header tab strip stops working past roughly a dozen sessions: it wraps
into two or three rows, eats vertical space and still cannot be scanned.
This adds a vertical session list in a left <aside> as an ALTERNATIVE
layout — a filter box, a live count, and a 44px collapsed rail that keeps
the ambient signal (status dot, task badge) visible.
The strip is not removed. Settings -> Display -> Tab Bar -> Session List
Layout switches between them and the default stays 'header', so existing
users see no change until they opt in.
Structure: one #sessionTabs element, two mount points. applySessionListLayout()
re-parents the SAME node between #sessionTabsHost and #sessionSidebarList,
which is why there is no second renderer and no duplicated wiring — app.$()
caches getElementById results and never invalidates them, so a moved node
keeps every existing consumer (settings-ui, webview-tabs, the generated
gesture bundle, the mobile tests) working untouched.
Notable integration points:
- Below 1024px the sidebar is an off-canvas drawer overlaying the terminal;
closed it gets inert + aria-hidden so it cannot be tabbed into, and touch
swipes over it no longer switch sessions.
- Subagent and ultracode windows anchor to the right edge of a sidebar row
instead of its bottom, connector curves follow.
- Alt+B toggles; the chord is gated out of the PTY so xterm cannot also
write ESC b into a live session.
- Collapse state lives in its own localStorage key (the settings blob is
rebuilt from DOM controls on every save) and falls back to in-memory
intent where storage throws.
Verified: frontend syntax + public asset checks, tsc, eslint, 26 new jsdom
tests, and a headless-Chromium harness (scripts/verify-session-sidebar.mts)
that renders a synthetic 25-session fleet in both layouts at 1600/1000/393px
and asserts mount point, widths, inert/aria state and row count.
