Changelog Entry
Description
This pull request introduces a feature to display pinned models directly within the collapsed chat sidebar. This provides users with quick access to their most frequently used models without needing to expand the sidebar. To handle cases with many pinned models, the section becomes vertically scrollable if the content overflows, preventing the sidebar from expanding and disrupting the main page layout. The scrollbar itself is hidden to maintain a clean user interface.
Added
Pinned models are now displayed as avatars in the collapsed chat sidebar.
The pinned models section in the collapsed sidebar is now scrollable when its content exceeds the available space.
Changed
Refactored the collapsed sidebar layout in src/lib/components/layout/Sidebar.svelte to a flexbox structure to properly contain the new scrollable pinned models list.
Fixed
Corrected an issue where having a large number of pinned models would cause the collapsed sidebar to grow in height, pushing down the main page content.
Ensured the scrollbar for the pinned models list is visually hidden while retaining scrolling functionality.
Additional Information
This implementation does not include drag-and-drop reordering for pinned models in the collapsed view, which is the expected behavior.
