The sidebar's Chief item (the optional chief built-in, Add to Sidebar) drew the generic sparkles glyph. It now draws the Chief's avatar: the picture of the pet character picked in home.chiefPetMascot, the same whole-character avatar the Home header wears for a Chief with no picture of its own. An unknown or unset id draws the orb, as Home does.

How: SidebarBridge.itemInfo sets the Chief item's favicon to that picture (ChiefSidebarPicture, one cached image per character so the same pick compares equal and does not redraw the row). favicon is the field every sidebar look already draws untinted in the glyph's place (row, inline chip, tile, icon-only), so the sidebar view code is unchanged. The sections observation in SidebarBridge.observeSections now also reads settings.snapshot.homeChiefPetMascot, so picking another character in Settings > Chief or the Chief Settings popover redraws the item live.

Observed / Not run

• Red then green on the fleet (ChiefSidebarItemTests.theChiefItemWearsTheChosenPetCharacter): red at the test commit 102d9f7 (fleet step d224f42f2e103cdeb974fecb: failed with 3 issues, the favicon was nil), green at the fix commit cfe3af6 (fleet step 83591676e3e704698f4a2d5f, 8/8 passed).
• prepush-gate.py: no new violations. crash_ratchet.py reports cmux-tui-core: expect 283 -> 285, which is the same on base 90b5da8 (Rust only; this PR changes none).
• Release compile (fleet-compile-check run 39633812303): success.
• Overlap: cmux-next sidebar: the Chief's workspaces read like any workspace (no aN id, no Chief line) #23391 shares only the test file ChiefSidebarItemTests.swift (different tests). cmux-next sidebar: the Chief's workspaces are one collapsible Chief group #23546 (Chief workspaces group) edits SidebarLayout.swift, SidebarListView+Reuse.swift, SidebarRowIndex.swift and ChiefWorkspaceName.swift; this PR touches none of them nor the Chief workspace rows.
• Not run: a full local build (no Swift builds on this machine); CI compiles it.

Proof: the capture below adds the Chief to the sidebar, then sets home.chiefPetMascot to fox and then moon-blue while the app runs; the final stills show the sidebar's Chief item wearing moon-blue, the same character as the Home header (no relaunch).

Pending: CI is running on c09f07fe5f (run); the result below was for cfe3af61de and no longer applies.

Last result: Not verified: macOS jobs did not run: compile and app tests were skipped on cfe3af61de; ci-status is green without them.

Written by scripts/ci/classify_failures.py (ci-failure-attribution.yml); it is rewritten when this head's CI completes.

red: cmux-next checks (god files, concurrency, crash safety, l10n); no finished base run on a95a5d2 to compare; do not merge until green; see lane-rules
