Steps to reproduce

  1. Open T3 Code nightly with Sidebar V2 enabled and at least one project added.
  2. Look at the top of the sidebar: Search + New thread on the first row, All projects + Add project on the second.
  3. Try to quickly tell the rows apart, then hit the right-side icons (New thread vs Add project).

Expected behavior

Those actions should read as two distinct jobs (global search/new thread vs project scope/add project), with enough visual separation and hit spacing that they’re easy to scan and click reliably.

Actual behavior

Sidebar V2 stacks two near-identical rows:

  1. Search + New thread
  2. All projects dropdown + Add project

Same structure (wide left control, small right icon) with almost no separation. They're hard to tell apart at a glance and easy to mis-click (especially New thread vs Add project). Follow-up to #4300 after chips were replaced by the dropdown.
