Previously, the sidebar would automatically create an empty draft thread for any project group that had no threads (via `reconcile_groups`). This added complexity and felt janky — the user would see a phantom "Draft" entry appear for every workspace they opened, even before they intended to start a conversation. Now, project groups can simply be empty. When a group has no threads: - The fold indicator renders as closed and grayed out (disabled — no click handler or tooltip) - The plus button is always visible on the right side of the header (not hidden behind hover) - Keyboard fold toggling is disabled for the group - Clicking the plus button creates the first thread and expands the group Draft threads are no longer auto-created anywhere: - `AgentPanel::load` no longer creates a draft when there is no previously active conversation - Archiving the last thread in a group clears the panel instead of creating a replacement draft - `show_or_create_empty_draft` and `clear_active_thread` are removed This removes a significant amount of supporting infrastructure that only existed to maintain the "no group may be empty" invariant: - `WorkspaceSidebarDelegate` trait and `AgentPanelSidebarDelegate` struct - `reconcile_groups` method and its 12 call sites - `clear_empty_group_drafts` method and its 3 call sites - `show_or_create_empty_draft` and `clear_active_thread` methods - `reconciling` field on `Sidebar` - `sidebar_delegate` field, setter, and getter on `Workspace` Release Notes: - Improved the sidebar to show empty project groups with a visible plus button instead of auto-creating placeholder draft threads. --------- Co-authored-by: Zed Zippy <234243425+zed-zippy[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Max Brunsfeld <maxbrunsfeld@gmail.com>
