### Additional Context

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the sidebar implementation and its existing toggle behavior, then review how the app detects pointer movement near the screen edge. Done means the sidebar can appear and hide on hover, with an optional setting, without obstructing the workspace.
