Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The sidebar is mostly camouflaged inline with the rest of the page background, with only an arrow symbolising that the left panel is collapsible. The clickable area is also quite wonky (see screenshot for details)

Describe the solution you'd like
A sidebar that is visible at a glance, and clearly shows where it is clickable from.

Additional context

Blue is where you can click the sidebar, and Red is the padding; the dimensions seem quite awkward.

Research direction

Use the issue screenshots as the visual reference, then locate the sidebar component and its styling or layout entry point. Compare the current clickable area, padding, dimensions, and contrast with the requested clearer visibility. Done means the sidebar is visibly distinct and its clickable region has intentional dimensions and spacing.
