feat(kon): collapsible sidebar — toggle with [ key, auto-collapse below 900px, icons-only mode

- Add sidebarCollapsed to settings defaults (persists via localStorage on saveSettings)
- Sidebar collapses to 48px icons-only view with smooth 200ms transition
- Toggle button (chevron) at top of nav; [ keyboard shortcut in layout (input-safe)
- Auto-collapse on window resize below 900px (checked on mount and on resize event)
- Titlebar left spacer tracks sidebar width reactively (48px / 210px)
- All labels, profile selector, status text hidden in collapsed mode; nav items show tooltips via title attribute
