feat: rework sidebar — flat session list, no groups, worktree-first

[PureWeen]

Summary

Rework the left sidebar to be a simple flat list instead of the current group-based organization.

Changes

1. Remove all grouping

• Remove the concept of custom groups entirely
• Remove "Add Group", "Move to Group", group headers, group collapse/expand
• Remove the group picker, group presets, and group management UI
• Remove Organization.Groups usage from the sidebar (keep the data model for now if needed by multi-agent orchestration, but the sidebar should not render groups)

2. Flat session list sorted by recency

• Show all sessions in a single flat list
• Sort by most recent user message (last time the user sent a prompt into the session), newest at top
• Sessions with no messages yet sort by creation time
• No sections, no headers, no separators — just a clean list

3. Show all worktrees

• Always show all managed worktrees in the sidebar, even if they have no active session
• Worktrees without sessions show the worktree name (branch name or repo name)
• Clicking a worktree without a session creates a new session in that worktree
• Worktrees with active sessions show the session as normal
• This gives users a persistent view of all their working contexts

What to keep

• Session context menu (close, rename, etc.)
• Multi-agent team indicators (if a session is part of a team, show the indicator but don't group it)
• Search/filter functionality
• Pin functionality (pinned sessions always at top, above the recency sort)

What to remove

• Group headers and group collapse/expand
• "Add Group" button
• "Move to Group" in context menus
• Group presets picker (📂 From Repo, ⚙️ Built-in, 👤 My Presets sections)
• Any group-related settings

🔧 PR Created — Flat Sidebar Rework

PR submitted with the full implementation of the flat sidebar layout.

What Changed

File	Change
CopilotService.Organization.cs	Added GetFlatSessions() (pinned → urgency → recency sort) and GetUnoccupiedWorktrees()
SessionSidebar.razor	Replaced group-based rendering with flat session list + worktree items; removed "Group" and "Multi-Agent Team" from create popover
Dashboard.razor	Removed group/multi-agent toolbar buttons; replaced group iteration with flat GetFlatSessions()
SessionListItem.razor	Removed "Move to..." submenu

What's Preserved

• Codespace groups, persisted sessions, external sessions — untouched
• Multi-agent team membership indicated inline (badge on session items)
• Data model (SessionGroup, SessionMeta, OrganizationState) unchanged — only UI stops rendering groups
• All existing organization/group logic preserved for backward compatibility

Tests

• ✅ 3660+ existing unit tests pass (1 pre-existing flaky timing test)
• ✅ 11 new unit tests for GetFlatSessions() and GetUnoccupiedWorktrees()
• ✅ 3 new integration tests for flat sidebar verification (no group headers, section label, no Group/Multi-Agent buttons)
• ✅ Integration tests build successfully

CI Dispatched

• 🔍 Expert review (3-model adversarial)
• 🏗️ Verify build (cross-platform)
• 🧪 Integration tests (smoke)
