Each side stack hosts a Vue rail listing its panels; selecting one opens it
through PanelChrome. The shell owns one Vue runtime and Pinia instance, and a
panel store mirrors each side's panels from the DOM. The rail hides with its
stack, in Cockpit, clean view and recording, and on phones. Panels without a
catalog entry get a generic item, and Data Layers leaves the rail while the
f shortcut hides it.
