GATE Chat Sidebar โ€” redesign mockups

Three directions for tightening up the chat sidebar. Current layout nests bot cards, session cards, and CS item cards โ€” three levels of borders eating vertical space. These mockups each attack that differently.

01
Most dense

Tree-style

No boxes, no cards. Hierarchy via indentation + chevrons. VSCode/Slack vibe. Maximum info per pixel โ€” best for power users. Biggest visual departure.

Flat-card

Keeps the card aesthetic, but flattens it to one level instead of three. Bot = header row, sessions = slim pills, CS = deeper pills. ~30% less vertical. Lowest-risk change.

Power-user

Hybrid

One slim card per bot for group separation. CS items become tree-style children with a dashed guide. Collapse at team, bot, and session level. Highest ceiling, most moving parts.
