fix: Prevent sidebar project dragging when using macos control+click to open context menu

[Noojuno]

What Changed

Updated the drag handler to ignore control+click actions when starting dragging.

Why

When using my trackpad on my MacBook, I was running into issues right clicking projects (while testing other stuff), because I was using the control+click method of triggering a right click.

This was causing the app to begin the drag state for a project when the context menu was dismissed, instead of just triggering the context menu.

UI Changes

The UI changes were kind of hard to show, but in all examples I did a normal drag, then a normal control+click and either clicked away or pressed esc to close the context menu, then moved my cursor (so not holding down click).

In the before, it kept the click action in a drag state even though I had let go of left click.

Note

Prevent sidebar project dragging and expand/collapse on macOS ctrl+click context menu

• Adds isContextMenuPointerDown in Sidebar.logic.ts to detect context menu gestures: secondary button (all platforms) or ctrl+primary-click (macOS only).
• In Sidebar.tsx, handleProjectTitlePointerDownCapture stops propagation when a context menu gesture is detected, preventing the drag sensor from arming.
• A suppressProjectClickForContextMenuRef ref gates the subsequent synthetic click so it does not toggle the project's expanded state.

Note

Low Risk
Low risk UI interaction change localized to sidebar project header pointer/click handling; main risk is unintended suppression of legitimate clicks/drags on some platforms.

Overview
Prevents sidebar project rows from entering (or staying in) a drag/click state when opening the project context menu via right-click or macOS ctrl+click.

Adds isContextMenuPointerDown to detect context-menu pointer gestures, stops pointer event propagation during capture to avoid arming the @dnd-kit drag sensor, and suppresses the follow-up click so context-menu dismissal doesn’t toggle project expand/collapse. Includes unit tests for the new context-menu detection logic.

@juliusmarminge not sure what the deal is with the browser test stage failing, seems to be failing on other people's PR's too
