Research direction

Start by reproducing the hang on macOS with several chats or project sessions open, then right-click a sidebar item and observe the context-menu path. The issue names no source file, test, or entry point, so trace the sidebar session context-menu handling from that interaction. Done means the menu appears and the app remains responsive every time.
