Current Limitation
The menu bar on the left side is not resizable. It uses ~20% of the total dashboard screen estate. While it's possible to fold it in by clicking on the pin icon, it's impractical when navigating a lot between classes.
The other issue is that long class names are truncated, because the bar has a fixed size.
Feature / Enhancement Description
- Make the bar width resizable, so that it can be adapted according to class names and reduced in size for easy navigation while not taking as much screen space.
- Remove the "Create a class" button from the "Browser" menu to allow resizing the bar to a smaller size; adding a class is usually not a frequent action and it can be done via the "Edit" menu.

Research direction
Start by reviewing open pull request #2872, then locate the dashboard's left menu implementation and its navigation controls. Confirm how the menu width and class-name display are handled, and verify that the requested resizing and removal of the Browser menu's Create a class button work without disrupting navigation.
