Sidebar Navigation

Support-facing summary of the current sidebar structure and behavior.

* Top area: * organization switcher * search button * quick HQ tool buttons * Today the only visible quick HQ button is `Chats`. * Main nav is built by merging organization, admin, and system tools, then prepending `Home`. * Bottom menu includes operator status plus static user-menu links/actions. * On mobile portal routes, the desktop sidebar is replaced by a shared bottom bar plus a full-width `Menu` sheet.

* Org switcher always shows the current org. * The dropdown appears only when the user belongs to more than one org. * Orgs are grouped as system orgs first, then regular orgs. * Search opens the command palette, not a dedicated `/search` page. * Search shortcut label is platform-aware: `Cmd+K` on macOS, `Ctrl+K` elsewhere.

* Regular tier: * `Home` (`/home`) * `Omni Hub` (`/omni`) * `Staff` (`/staff`) * `Storage` (`/storage`) * `Workflows` (`/workflows`) * `Cowork` (`/cowork`) * `Variables` (`/variables`) * `Mcps` (`/mcps`) * `Integrations` (`/integrations`) * `Settings` (`/org-settings`) * Admin tier: * `Flows` (`/skills`) * `Logs` (`/logs`) * Developer tier: * `Admin` (`/admin`) * `Models` (`/models`) * `Prompts` (`/prompts`) * `Voices` (`/voices`) * `Defaults` (`/defaults`) * `Scout Logs` (`/scout-logs`)

* Status selector: * `Active` * other operator-status options from `STATUS_OPTIONS` * Static items: * `Invite people` -> `/staff?tab=invites&invite=true` * `Upgrade` -> toast placeholder, not a real modal yet * `Website` -> `https://alloy.cx` * `Portal` -> `/` * `Toggle Theme` * `Sign Out`

* Hidden items are filtered out before render. * `Home` is always inserted as the first regular nav item. * Role grouping uses `splitToolsByRole()`: * regular: no role gate * admin: `isOrgAdmin` or `isOrgOwner` * developer: `isDeveloper` * Developers bypass org-role gates. * A tool marked both developer and org-role gated appears only in the developer tier. * Separators render only between non-empty tiers. * `Notifications` stays hidden. * `Search` exists in the manifest but is rendered as the top search control instead of a nav item. * `Admin` comes from the `(sys)` route group and is flagged `isDeveloper: true` in the generated sidebar manifest.

* The old sidebar Ally entry is now labeled `Chats`. * Clicking sidebar `Chats` opens internal chat directly through an action item instead of navigating to a dedicated `/ai` route. * Global shortcut: `Alt+C`. * On macOS, `Alt+C` is ignored while focus is inside an editable field; on other platforms it still fires. * The mobile Cowork menu uses the same direct-open `Chats` action. * The shared mobile bottom bar uses `Menu`, `Files`, `Omni`, `Home`, `Chats`. * Mobile `Chats` routes to `/cowork?coworkPanel=history`; mobile `Files` routes to `/cowork?coworkPanel=tree`. * The mobile menu sheet is full width, sits above the bottom bar, closes on route change, and includes org switcher, search, visible tools, full nav, and user menu. * `Staff` behavior: * desktop + active AI teammates -> hover/focus quick launcher with `Staff` plus direct teammate chat shortcuts * mobile, or no active AI teammates -> plain nav link

* Expanded width is persisted in local storage. * Width bounds: * min `175px` * max `270px` * default `225px` * Collapse threshold: dragging below `130px` switches to icon-only mode. * Collapsed desktop width is `80px`. * Collapsed desktop mode removes the expanded card chrome, keeps the sidebar fully visible, shortens separators, and uses smaller compact icons. * In collapsed desktop mode, the old footer expand toggle is no longer shown. * Collapsed desktop mode instead exposes a thin right-edge `Expand sidebar` hit area. * Collapsed desktop mode uses tooltips for non-`Staff` items, including the `Alt+C` hint on `Chats`.
