lore(release): v0.7.19 — unify sidebar navigation

[vriesd]

What changed

• Consolidate workspace destinations and contextual Session or library records into one left rail.
• Remove the duplicate library master-list column and return that width to the active detail.
• Preserve the active Note, Testware, or Findings view when switching Sessions.
• Adapt library records to a horizontal master strip on narrow windows.
• Add keyboard and interaction regression coverage.

Why

Session selection and library browsing used two competing navigation patterns. Libraries also rendered a second left-hand master list beside the application rail, consuming valuable workspace width. This release applies one consistent master-detail model across Sessions and libraries.

Release

This PR synchronizes release metadata and notes at v0.7.19. Per .github/workflows/release.yml, merging into main creates the missing v0.7.19 tag on the merge commit and starts the signed release pipeline. No tag is pushed from the feature branch, so the release cannot point at an unmerged PR head.

Validation

• bun run release:check
• node scripts/check-release-metadata.mjs --expected-tag v0.7.19
• bun run frontend:check
• bun run frontend:test — 174 tests passed
• Production frontend build
• Visual verification at 1280×720 and 390×844 with no second master-list column or document-level horizontal overflow

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
