Conversation
The sidebar mixed filled and outline SF Symbols, so weight varied by 2.4x across the column even though every icon is drawn at the same 14pt medium. Rendering each symbol to a bitmap and measuring the covered area: clock.fill 166, person.2.fill 134, keyboard 107, character.book.closed 92, gearshape 86, mic.fill 82, info.circle 81, square.and.arrow.down 69. Timeline and Meetings read as heavy blobs next to Models, which reads as a faint scratch. Changes: - clock.fill -> clock and mic.fill -> mic, so nothing in the column is filled. - person.2.fill -> person.wave.2 for Meetings: person.2 was also the widest glyph at 19pt against 11pt for the narrowest. - keyboard -> command for Shortcuts. keyboard was 17pt wide and 11.8 tall, the flattest of the set, and the command key is the more direct symbol for a shortcuts page. - square.and.arrow.down -> cpu for Models. The download arrow described the action rather than the thing, and cpu matches what the page lists: models that run on this machine. - Folders no longer switch to folder.fill when they have children. That doubled their weight (164 against 77) purely as a function of nesting, which the disclosure chevron already communicates. - Drop the per-symbol `.offset(y:)` nudge, which existed only to correct square.and.arrow.down sitting a point low. After: ink spans 71 to 92 rather than 69 to 166, and width 11 to 16 rather than 11 to 19. Signed-off-by: Eugene Chorny <est.eugene@gmail.com>
Two things were off in the sidebar's left edge. The search field's magnifier sits 18pt from the sidebar edge (8pt outer padding plus 10pt inside the field), while every row's icon column started at 24pt (8pt outer plus 16pt row padding). The 6pt difference reads as a ragged left edge. Row padding is now 10pt, the same value the search field uses, so both columns start at 18pt. The magnifier also moves into a sidebarIconColumnWidth column so its centre lands on the row icons' centre rather than merely near it. The Meetings children had no indent at all: All Meetings and top level folders sat flush with their parent, and the only cue that they were nested was a smaller 11pt icon. That encodes hierarchy as size, which stops working the moment you look away. The children are now indented 24pt as a group and their icons match the rest of the sidebar at 14pt, so nesting is carried by position. Deeper levels add 16pt rather than 8pt. The disclosure chevron moves into the indent gutter instead of overlapping the folder icon, which is what the gutter is for. The search field also grows from 25pt to 32pt. Against 36pt rows the old height looked pinched, and its glyph sat above the line the icons form. Signed-off-by: Eugene Chorny <est.eugene@gmail.com>
The bottom of the sidebar spent five full rows and a section heading on two navigation targets and two share links: Spread the Word, Tweet about Muesli, Post on LinkedIn, Settings, About, then the theme toggle. At the default sidebar width of 260pt that is roughly 150pt of height for things a person uses rarely, pushing the folder list up against the fold. They now share one row: Settings and About as icon buttons on the left, a labelled share button on the right. Each button gets a 32pt tap target, since the rows it replaces were full width and easy to hit. The share entry keeps its existing condition and still appears only after the word milestone, so this changes the layout rather than when it is offered. It does drop the LinkedIn entry and label the remaining one "Post on X": two unlabelled marks side by side in a 260pt column read as decoration, while one named button reads as an action. That is a product call rather than a layout one, so it is easy to revert if you would rather keep both. About's update pill becomes a dot on the icon. The pill needed a label and a capsule, neither of which fits an icon row, and About is already where the update instructions live. The tooltip and accessibility label are unchanged, so the status is still announced the same way. The theme toggle is removed rather than moved: Settings already has Appearance -> Dark mode, the same control bound to the same config value. The sidebar copy was a duplicate that cost a row. sidebarItem loses its unused updateCTA parameter and socialShareRow goes with the section it served. SidebarHitAreaTests anchored its source scan on darkModeToggle, so it moves to the next declaration, and the same hit target rule now covers the footer buttons.

Greptile SummaryThe PR consolidates the sidebar’s visual alignment and footer while standardizing icon weight and meeting-tree hierarchy.
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR appears safe to merge, with non-blocking follow-up recommended for deeply nested folder layout and the footer hit-area test’s incomplete size assertion. The changed controls retain functional navigation and accessibility behavior, while the remaining concerns are limited to an extreme nesting layout case and future regression coverage.

native/MuesliNative/Sources/MuesliNativeApp/SidebarView.swift, line 327 (link)Nested rows exhaust sidebar width
At the supported 240-point sidebar width, approximately eight nested folder levels consume the available row width through the new 24-point group indent and 16 points per level, leaving the fixed icon, count, and disclosure content clipped at the sidebar edge.

This source scan verifies only that the frame references footerButtonSize, so reducing that constant below 32 points still passes the test and leaves the claimed full tap-target requirement unprotected.

This test depends on private function names and exact SwiftUI modifier text. It can fail after harmless refactoring and does not validate layout behavior. Extract the footer hit-target dimensions into a pure layout helper, use that helper in
footerTabButton, and test its returned values directly.As per coding guidelines, SwiftUI/AppKit logic should extract pure decision helpers where full UI tests are brittle.

Update the contribution completion contract.
The footer now exposes only .tweetAboutMuesli. However, MuesliController.openContributionSidebarShare clears contributionPromptNextWordCount only after Twitter, LinkedIn, GitHub, and Buy Me a Coffee actions are complete. Removing the LinkedIn action makes that completion path unreachable from this sidebar flow. The contribution prompt can remain active after all available sidebar actions are complete.
Update the controller completion condition to match the retained actions, or retain a reachable LinkedIn action.

What this is
A design proposal rather than a bug fix, so treat it as a starting point for a conversation. The
sidebar works fine as it is; this is an attempt to tidy the navigation so the column reads as one
system. I am happy to take any part of it out, split it up, or drop it entirely if it does not match
where you want the app to go.
Everything below is measured rather than eyeballed: each SF Symbol was rendered to a bitmap at the
same 14pt medium the sidebar uses, and the covered area compared.
Dark theme:
The three things it changes
Icon weight. The column mixes filled and outline symbols, so ink varies 2.4x even though every
glyph is drawn at one size:
clock.fill166,person.2.fill134,keyboard107,character.book.closed92,gearshape86,mic.fill82,info.circle81,square.and.arrow.down69. Timeline and Meetings read as heavy blobs next to Models. Nothing isfilled any more, and the two widest glyphs are replaced:
person.2was 19pt against 11pt for thenarrowest, and
keyboardwas the flattest of the set. Models moves from a download arrow tocpu,which describes what the page lists rather than what the button does. Folders also stop switching to
folder.fillwhen they have children, which doubled their weight as a function of nesting that thechevron already communicates. Ink now spans 71 to 92.
Left edge alignment. The search field's magnifier sits 18pt from the sidebar edge; every row's
icon column started at 24pt. Row padding now matches the search field's, so both start at 18pt, and
the magnifier moves into an icon column so their centres line up rather than merely sit near each
other. Measured in a running build: left edges at 21.0, 22.0 and 20.5pt, where the spread is glyph
shape rather than layout. The search field also grows from 25pt to 32pt, since against 36pt rows it
looked pinched, and its glyph now matches the others in size and weight.
Hierarchy and the footer. The Meetings children had no indent at all, so nesting was carried
only by a smaller 11pt icon. They are now indented as a group and their icons match the rest of the
sidebar, so position does that work. The bottom then collapses from five rows and a heading into one:
Settings and About as icon buttons, the share link labelled on the right, each with a 32pt tap
target. That returns roughly 150pt of height at the default 260pt sidebar width.
Two calls worth arguing about
The share row keeps its milestone condition, so this changes the layout rather than when it is
offered, but it does drop the LinkedIn entry and label the remaining one. Two unlabelled marks in a
narrow column read as decoration, while one named button reads as an action. That is a product
decision, not a layout one, and it is a single commit to revert.
The theme toggle is removed rather than moved, because Settings already has Appearance -> Dark mode
bound to the same config value. If the sidebar copy was deliberate, say so and I will put it back.
About's update pill becomes a dot on the icon, keeping the same tooltip and accessibility label.
Validation
swift testacross the touched suites:SidebarHitAreaTests,ContributionMilestoneTests,UpdateFailureGuidanceTests,MeetingsNavigationTests,FeatureTourTests, all passing.scripts/test_ci_test_shards.shpasses.visible for the shot.
SidebarHitAreaTestsanchored its source scan ondarkModeToggle, so the anchor moves to thenext declaration, and the same hit target rule now covers the new footer buttons.
