Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** Requests and ideas

When the left sidebar is collapsed, it would be nice if it could temporarily auto-open when the cursor hovers near the left edge of the window. This would make it easier to access the panel quickly without needing to click the expand button every time.

Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the desktop app's left-sidebar implementation and the collapsed-state interaction on the /chat path; done means the collapsed sidebar temporarily opens when the cursor reaches the left window edge and remains usable without clicking the expand button.
