fix(sidecar): panel button deletes the side chat instead of hiding it (#3961)
* fix(sidecar): make panel button delete the side chat instead of hiding it

The side chat panel's top-right button called `sidecar.close()`, which only
hid the panel — duplicating the header `SidecarTrigger` toggle. Repurpose the
button so the panel owns deletion and the header toggle owns hide/show.

- When a conversation exists, the button shows a trash icon and opens a
  confirmation dialog before deleting via `useDeleteThread` (backend cascade).
- In the draft state (references only, no thread yet) the header trigger is not
  rendered, so the button falls back to a plain close (X) that discards the
  draft without a confirm — there is nothing persisted to delete.

Also fix a latent double-delete bug surfaced by the new dialog:
`useDeleteThread` deletes through the LangGraph route (which drops the
thread_meta row) and then calls `deleteLocalThreadData`, which hits the same
gateway handler whose `require_existing=True` guard now 404s. Treat that 404 as
idempotent success. The recent-chat delete used fire-and-forget `mutate`, so it
swallowed this error; the sidecar's `mutateAsync` surfaced it as a toast.

The e2e mock now mirrors the gateway ownership guard (second DELETE 404s once
the thread is gone) so the regression stays covered. Adds tests for delete,
draft-state close, and header-owned hide/show.

* fix(sidecar): lock delete dialog while deletion is in flight

The delete confirmation dialog disabled Cancel during an in-flight
delete but still allowed dismissal via the overlay, Esc, and the
built-in close (X). Those paths could imply the delete was cancelled
when it was actually still running. Ignore dismissals and drop the
close button while `isDeleting` so only the (disabled) Cancel path
controls the dialog.
