Two failure modes of a sidebar render crash, fixed together:
1. Layout-push leak (root cause): the layout-push effect wrote
--dsh-sidebar-width/--dsh-sidebar-height on document.documentElement
without a cleanup, so ANY unmount of the Sidebar (error-boundary swap,
plugin disable, HMR) left the variables behind and layout.css kept
squeezing #root with a stale margin — "the sidebar cannot be hidden"
until a full reload. The effect now removes both properties on cleanup
(the CSS fallback 0px restores the layout).
2. Crash containment (UX): the root error boundary previously replaced the
WHOLE sidebar — toggle cluster included — with an error strip on any tab
crash. A new shared RenderBoundary (src/client/RenderBoundary.tsx) now
scopes containment per tab: a crashing viewer/editor shows a dismissible
strip inside its own pane while the toggle cluster, the other tabs, and
the panel stay alive. The descriptor is rendered as a real element
(createElement) so even top-level component throws land in the boundary,
not in TabContent's own render. The root boundary remains as the last
resort for Workbench/shell errors.
Tests (tests/sidebar-crash.spec.tsx, jsdom + real Sidebar/store harness):
- unmount clears both CSS variables (red before the fix: 307px leaked)
- a crashing tab is contained: strip in-pane, collapse button alive,
layout push still live
- the retry button recovers a tab whose crash has since been fixed
Full suite: 425 tests pass; tsc --noEmit clean.
