Description

Specter does not connect/link the devices on the left sidebar with the current wallet. One has to go to the wallet settings to see which devices are involved. While it works, it is indirect. Reusing the sidebar devices would be clearer.

Casa (at least on their website) makes a way more intuitive UI:

How to better show which devices are involved in the _current_ wallet?

- Highlighting?
- Splitting the devices collapsible section into "Involved devices" (not collapsible) and "Other devices" (collapsed)?

Any other ideas?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the wallet view and comparing the current devices sidebar with the wallet settings, as described in the issue. No file, test, or entry point is named, so the first task is locating those UI components and agreeing on one design. Done means the current wallet's involved devices are clearly distinguishable from other devices.
