Pull request overview
Adds a dedicated “Pinned” section to the Sessions sidebar list so pinned chats render under the same section-header UI pattern as other sections, while keeping section actions appropriate for pinned content.
Changes:
- Introduce
groupSessionsForList(...)helper to centralize sorting/grouping with pinned + archived handling. - Render pinned sessions as a top “Pinned” section (using section headers) and ensure pinned sections don’t get workspace-only toolbar actions.
- Add unit tests for pinned grouping behavior and update the Sessions layout spec.

Render pinned chats as a real section in the sessions sidebar so they inherit the standard uppercase header styling and only expose the bulk done action. Also add helper coverage for the new section grouping behavior and document the pinned section in the sessions layout spec. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Extract the pinned-vs-workspace archive confirmation message selection into a small helper to keep ArchiveSectionAction readable. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
