Is there an existing issue for this?

Summary

Currently, the sidebar can only be closed by clicking the collapse button in the bottom-right corner. When resizing the sidebar by dragging, it stops shrinking once it reaches the minimum width. A better experience would be to automatically close the sidebar if the user drags it past this minimum width.

Why should this be worked on?

On smaller laptop screens, users often prefer to keep the sidebar closed to maximize workspace. When I first tried to close it, my instinct was to drag the sidebar all the way in, but it stopped at the minimum width. It took me a moment to realize that I had to use the collapse button instead.

I can work on this feature if we’re aligned on the approach.

I noticed a PR already created for this issue after I was assigned, so I've paused my work on this. Let me know if I still need to look into this.
If the PR is moving forward, please unassign me from this issue.
