Threads waiting for an answer now have a visible indigo ring in the sidebar.

Problem

The small "Input" label was easy to miss, especially because inactive rows were dimmed.

Fix

Add a static 2px inset ring and keep input rows at full opacity in the current web/desktop sidebar. The ring follows the existing input status, including clearing after an answer, and preserves row dimensions.

Validation: 158 sidebar logic tests, web typecheck, formatting, and focused lint passed with existing lint warnings. Browser checks covered light/dark themes, active state, input clearing/restoring, and unchanged dimensions. Code review found no actionable issues.

UI Changes

Captured in Chromium on a temporary dev route rendering the actual sidebar row component with fixed fixtures.

Highlight sidebar threads waiting for input with indigo ring

Updates SidebarThreadRow in Sidebar.tsx to show an indigo inset ring when thread status is input. It also prevents the in-flight opacity dimming from applying to input rows so they remain fully visible.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 4d67652

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused one-file sidebar UI fix that adds a visible input-state ring and prevents those rows from being dimmed, without changing thread behavior, layout dimensions, data, or configuration. It is a bounded visual correction with no product-default or static-analysis changes.

Closing because #9810 already proposes a static indigo border for pending-input threads as part of its question-navigation improvements.
