Quieter status bar and sidebar counts - #72336
Merged

Conversation
The sidebar labelled sections and workspace lanes `loaded/total`, which read as a progress bar people expected to fill up rather than a count of loaded rows. Pricing that label cost a COUNT(*) per profile database on every sidebar refresh, purely so the numerator and denominator could differ. Pagination only needs to know whether another page exists, and that comes free from the rows the query already returned: a window that comes back full means more remain on disk. Sections now show the loaded count alone, and the backend reports per-profile `profiles_truncated` flags in place of `total` / `profile_totals`.

The status bar shipped every affordance it had, so approvals, the terminal toggle, agents, cron and webhooks sat there permanently for users who never touched them. Those five now start hidden and the bar owns a context menu that turns them back on, persisted per install. Items opt in by naming themselves with `toggleLabel`, so a plugin contribution that doesn't opt in always shows; the system icon and the version/update pills are listed but locked on, since hiding the way back into settings strands the user. Preferences store the hidden set rather than the visible one, so an item added to the bar in a later version appears for existing users instead of staying silently off.

The sidebar's flat session list lost its `x/<total>` chip in NousResearch#72336, but the project drill-in kept counting: WorkspaceHeader still rendered a SidebarCount for every repo and every branch/worktree lane. Entering a project put a number next to each label again. Remove the header's count slot and both call sites, along with the now dead repo total.

#72336 removed the count from the flat list and #72912 from the entered project, but three sites still tallied rows: search results, each messaging group (Telegram, Discord, …), and cron jobs. With them gone SidebarCount never renders a count — its one caller is the projects-loading spinner — so rename it SidebarSectionMeta.

Two changes to what the desktop chrome shows by default, both aimed at surfaces that were reporting numbers and controls nobody asked for.
Sidebar counts
Sections and workspace lanes labelled themselves
loaded/total, which reads as a progress bar people expect to fill up rather than a count of loaded rows. Pricing that label cost aCOUNT(*)per profile database on every sidebar refresh, purely so the numerator and denominator could differ.Pagination only needs to know whether another page exists, and that falls out of the rows the query already returned: a window that comes back full means more remain on disk. Sections now show the loaded count alone, and the backend reports per-profile
profiles_truncatedflags in place oftotal/profile_totals. "Load more" behaves the same; the per-refresh counting is gone.Status bar
The bar shipped every affordance it had, so approvals, the terminal toggle, agents, cron and webhooks sat there permanently for users who never touched them. Those five now start hidden, and right-clicking the bar opens a menu to turn them back on. The choice persists per install.
Items opt into the menu by naming themselves with
toggleLabel, so a plugin contribution that doesn't opt in always shows. The system icon and the version/update pills are listed but locked on — hiding the way back into settings would strand the user, and update state isn't a preference. Preferences store the hidden set rather than the visible one, so an item added to the bar in a later version appears for existing users instead of staying silently off.Covered by
statusbar-visibility.test.tsx: defaults, toggling through the menu, the locked items, and pass-through for items that never opted in.
