[codex] UI and dev ops quality-of-life (#6384)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip operators spend most of their time scanning the board,
inbox, sidebar, and local dev status surfaces
> - Small UI and dev-ops frictions make repeated operator workflows feel
slower than they need to be
> - The working branch contained several independent quality-of-life
improvements mixed with larger cloud work
> - Grouping these smaller UI/dev-ops changes together keeps review
overhead reasonable without merging them into feature PRs
> - This pull request collects the operator-facing QoL polish into one
standalone branch
> - The benefit is a cleaner board navigation and local dev recovery
experience without depending on cloud upstream sync

## What Changed

- Relaxed forced 44px touch targets for small inline widgets.
- Fixed mobile mention menu scrolling and sidebar spacing on
touch/mobile layouts.
- Synced inbox hover state with j/k selection.
- Moved plugin sidebar entries into the Work section.
- Added manual dev-server restart action/banner behavior.
- Logged plugin bridge 502 causes for better diagnosis.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/plugin-sdk build`
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/MarkdownEditor.test.tsx
ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx
ui/src/components/SidebarProjects.test.tsx ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx
ui/src/components/DevRestartBanner.test.tsx
server/src/__tests__/dev-server-status.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/health-dev-server-token.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts` initially failed only
because plugin SDK `dist` was not built in the fresh worktree.
- Rerun after build: `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/plugin-routes-authz.test.ts` passed.
- The remaining targeted UI/dev-server tests passed on the first
post-install run.

## Visual Evidence

- Sidebar layout and plugin Work section: ![Sidebar

- Inbox/task row selection and hover-state surface: ![Inbox rows
desktop](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pap-9861-ui-dev-qol/docs/pr-screenshots/pr-6384/inbox-rows-desktop.png)
- Dev restart banner desktop: ![Dev restart banner
desktop](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/paperclipai/paperclip/pap-9861-ui-dev-qol/docs/pr-screenshots/pr-6384/dev-restart-banner-desktop.png)
- Dev restart banner mobile: ![Dev restart banner

## Risks

- Mostly UI/dev ergonomics with low data risk.
- Sidebar and inbox changes touch frequently used navigation surfaces,
so visual review on desktop/mobile is still useful.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent with local shell/git/tool use.
Exact hosted model ID and context-window size are not exposed by the
local Paperclip adapter runtime.
