Description
Problem
Opening the Nextcloud sidebar overlaps canvas content and controls.
Tasks
- Adjust layout stacking so the canvas resizes or shifts when the sidebar appears.
- Verify behaviour on desktop and mobile breakpoints.
- Add regression coverage if feasible.
Acceptance criteria
- Sidebar no longer hides canvas elements when opened.
- Closing the sidebar restores the original layout without jitter.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the overlap with the Nextcloud sidebar open, then trace the sidebar and whiteboard canvas layout entry points across desktop and mobile breakpoints. Verify that the canvas remains usable while the sidebar is open, and that closing it restores the original layout without jitter; add regression coverage if the existing test setup supports it.
