feat(web): projectless threads show their machine in the sidebar

[flamboh]

Note

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 on behalf of Oliver

Every machine has its own "No project" folder, but a projectless thread's sidebar card only says "No project". Project rows can show which machine they're on, but projectless threads have nothing that does. With two or more environments connected, you can't tell which machine a projectless thread is on without hovering it.

Projectless threads never have a branch, so the card's branch line is always empty. When the sidebar already shows environment badges on projects (the catalog spans more than one environment), that line now shows the thread's machine icon and environment label, styled like the branch.

• A thread with a branch keeps showing its branch. The machine only fills the line when it would otherwise be empty.
• With one environment nothing changes, so single-machine users don't get a repeated label.
• When the label shows, the small remote-machine glyph next to the provider icon is hidden so the machine isn't shown twice.
• Compact rows and search results have no branch line and are unchanged. The hover card already lists the machine.
• Mobile already shows branch · machine on this line when more than one environment is connected, so this brings web in line with it.

Before / After

Two environments connected (oliverpad and pinot), one thread without a project on each.

Before	After

Validation

• tsc --noEmit for apps/web, plus format and lint on Sidebar.tsx.
• Checked in the web client against a worktree dev server plus a second local server. The screenshots above come from that run.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The sidebar derives a machine label for scratch-project threads when project groups span environments. For qualifying threads without a branch, the row displays the environment label and machine icon, and suppresses the separate remote-machine indicator.

Changes

Sidebar scratch machine labels

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Derive and display scratch-machine labels apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx	The sidebar checks whether the thread belongs to a scratch project under the environment’s configured scratch workspace root. It passes the environment label to the thread row, which displays it for threads without a branch and suppresses the separate remote-machine indicator. Other remote threads retain that indicator.

- Line 2614: Update the `showProjectEnvironments` gate in the Sidebar rendering
flow to derive whether multiple environments are connected from their
identities, rather than from `projectGroups`. Keep the scratch machine label
visible for projectless threads when a second environment is connected.
