Changelog Entry

Description

This pull request introduces functionality to persist the collapsed/expanded state of the chat sidebar sections using the browser's local storage. This ensures that a user's preferences for which sections are open or closed are remembered across page reloads and closing/reopening the chats sidebar, improving the user experience.

Added

The sidebar sections (e.g., "Chats", "Folders", "Pinned") now remember their collapsed or expanded state between sessions.

Changed

Modified src/lib/components/common/Folder.svelte to save its open state to localStorage and restore it when the component is mounted.
Refactored src/lib/components/layout/Sidebar.svelte to use the new generic state persistence from the Folder component.

Removed

Removed the specific and now-redundant localStorage handling for the "Pinned" chats section from src/lib/components/layout/Sidebar.svelte.

Additional Information

This implementation enhances the user interface by making the sidebar layout stateful and personalized to the user's last interaction.
