Description
Problem Statement
Add visual distinction to indicate archived sites in site selectors. Currently, archived sites appear in content selectors (which is fine), but there's no visual cue to differentiate them from active sites, which can cause confusion for users.
Steps to Reproduce
- Archive a site in dotCMS
- Navigate to create a new persona (or any content type with site selection)
- Open the site selector dropdown
- Observe that archived sites appear in the list (no visual distinction)
- Select an archived site and save the content
Acceptance Criteria
-Add "(Archived)" in parentheses after the host name
- Dropdown width should grow to accommodate the label
- Truncate super long host names if needed to keep the "(Archived)" tag visible
- Use text label (not icon) for accessibility and usability
