feat: Make Navigation Visible by Default on Clean Install 🧭

[danny-avila]

Summary

I've refactored the navigation component to ensure it is visible by default on a clean install of LibreChat. This change was motivated by user feedback indicating that the initial experience can be confusing with the navigation not immediately accessible. By making the navigation bar visible from the start, new users can more easily explore the app's features, improving overall user satisfaction.

Change Type

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

Testing

To verify the new behavior:

1. Perform a fresh installation of the app.
2. Launch the app and observe that the navigation bar is immediately visible.
3. Navigate through the different sections to ensure that each link in the navigation bar functions correctly.

Additionally, ensure that the visibility of the navigation bar persists across app restarts and does not interfere with any other UI components.

Test Configuration:

• Fresh installation environment
• Various screen sizes to check responsive design
