Subject: [PATCH] fix(web): a project filter that hides every active thread
 says so and offers Show all projects

The sidebar empty state was skipped whenever any settled thread was visible,
so a scope on a project with only settled threads looked like lost data.
Show it whenever a scope leaves no active threads, above the Settled shelf,
with a button that clears the scope.

Fixes pingdotgg/t3code#16692

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
