Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/discussions/64266 Opening a folder in an existing window force-opens the Threads Sidebar, and there is no way to prevent it. `open_paths` called `MultiWorkspace::open_sidebar` unconditionally on the reused window, so the sidebar reopened on every such open regardless of whether the user had closed it. This adds `agent.threads_sidebar_auto_open`, defaulting to `true` so current behavior is unchanged. With `false`, the folder still opens in the existing window, but the sidebar stays closed. This path is reached when `default_open_behavior` or `cli_default_open_behavior` is set to `existing_window`. `open_sidebar` was doing double duty: besides showing the sidebar, it pinned the workspace being navigated away from so it survives the switch. When the setting is disabled, `retain_active_workspace` is called instead, so only sidebar visibility changes. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fc299df0-27e2-4ac6-98cb-d817d5f71d0e ## Tests Two tests in `multi_workspace_tests.rs` cover both branches: the sidebar opens by default, and stays closed when the setting is disabled while the folder still opens in the same window. Release Notes: - Added `agent.threads_sidebar_auto_open` to control whether opening a folder in an existing window also opens the Threads Sidebar
