Fix Sidebar V2 narrow-width issues: hover-action overlap and disappearing logo

[erik-bobinski]

What changed

Two small fixes for Sidebar V2 (beta) at narrow sidebar widths:

1. Hover actions no longer overlap the project title (apps/web/src/components/SidebarV2.tsx). In the card row header, the snooze/settle hover actions were absolutely positioned over a slot sized only by the small time label, so at narrow sidebar widths the buttons painted on top of the project title. The time label and the hover actions now share a single CSS grid cell: the slot is always as wide as the wider of the two, the title truncates with an ellipsis instead of being overlapped, and hover still just cross-fades the label and actions with no layout shift. Keyboard access (focus-within reveal) is unchanged.

2. The T3 Code logo no longer disappears at narrow widths (apps/web/src/index.css). .sidebar-brand is shown by a sidebar-header container query with a 13.5rem (216px) threshold, but the sidebar can be resized down to THREAD_SIDEBAR_MIN_WIDTH = 13rem (208px). In that 208-215px band the logo vanished despite having ~100px of free space (the brand needs ~110px including the titlebar-control inset). Lowered the threshold to 12.75rem so the logo survives the sidebar's full resize range; the value stays just under the sidebar minimum to absorb the 1px border on the container's content box.

Why

Both are visible polish bugs in the Sidebar V2 beta that only reproduce when the sidebar is dragged near its minimum width.

Before / After

Sidebar at its 208px minimum width, first row hovered:

Before	After

Before: no logo in the header, and the clock + Settle buttons paint over the project title. After: logo visible, title truncates, actions sit cleanly to the right. Verified live in an isolated dev environment (measured 0px overlap between the actions and the title across both rows; previously 52px).

Overview
Fixes two Sidebar V2 polish issues when the sidebar is dragged near its minimum width.

Card row header: The status/time label and snooze/settle hover actions now share a single CSS grid cell instead of absolutely stacking actions on a slot sized only by the label. The right column grows to fit the wider layer, the project title keeps truncating, and hover still cross-fades label vs actions without layout shift.

Header logo: The sidebar-header container query that shows .sidebar-brand is lowered from 13.5rem to 12.75rem so the T3 logo stays visible across the full resizable range down to THREAD_SIDEBAR_MIN_WIDTH (13rem / 208px).

Note

Fix hover-action overlap and disappearing logo in narrow-width SidebarV2

• Replaces the absolute-positioned control overlay in SidebarV2Row with a single-cell CSS grid, so the time/status label and hover/focus controls occupy the same cell without overlap.
• Lowers the container query threshold for .sidebar-brand visibility from 13.5rem to 12.75rem in index.css, preventing the logo from disappearing at narrow sidebar widths.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved

Pure CSS class changes fixing sidebar layout issues - switches from absolute positioning to CSS grid and adjusts a container query breakpoint. No runtime logic changes, just visual styling fixes.
