This PR implements a second option for for resolving #6086 for users who prefer the sidebar not use an overlay or dim the actual session content.

Instead of a config file setting, this solution varians allows the toggling of the sidebar's overlay behavior directly from the command palette. The state persists to kv.json.

Changes:

  • Add sidebarOverlayEnabled signal persisted to kv.json (defaults to true)
  • Add sidebarOverlay toggle command in System category
  • Add optional sidebar_overlay_toggle keybind config (default: none)

This provides instant toggling without requiring restart/reload.

This PR and #6092 are meant as alternative options to one another for resolving #6086: only one or the other should be merged, but not both.
