Tidy up sidebar implementation (#51904)

## Context

This PR cleans up all the sidebar impl, from the over use of agentic
tools, without regard for the sidebar's construction.

## How to Review

This PR fixes the following problems:
- Overuse of inter-event guards and state management around focus state.
Simplified to just `focused_thread `, a derived value from the current
active agent panel and thread. UI can optimistically set this value for
threads that haven't been loaded yet, and it won't be unset by
`update_entries`
- Mixing data fetching and re-derivation. `update_entries` should not be
fetching the list of threads. Rather, that list should be pulled from
the threads meta data, cached on the sidebar, and then used to compute
the new state
- Similarly, removed logical state mutation from `update_entries`. It's
job is to compile the new UI state from it's data sources, not to move
selection state around. Do that elsewhere.
- The Archive pointer should be stored in the active view enum, rather
than spread across two fields
- Finally, update_entries did several linear passes over the list of
threads in a row, I had claude consolidate these passes and am relying
on our extensive test coverage to keep it functioning. If this breaks
something you built, _put that in a test_.
