A desktop side panel hides once collapsed, so Escape hands focus to its visible rail item instead of the hidden disclosure. Rail selection reads the panel's collapsed class rather than the store, which follows it a microtask late.
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.
