Cmd+B in the composer turned on Markdown bold instead of toggling the sidebar. The composer is focused most of the time, so the sidebar shortcut almost never worked.

Now Cmd/Ctrl+B bolds only when text is selected. With just a caret, the sidebar toggles.

• The sidebar shortcut gives the chord to the composer only when the selection is not empty.
• A small composer extension ignores Mod+B on an empty selection. This keeps the rule if someone moves the sidebar toggle to another key.

Caret only: sidebar closes, no bold	Text selected: bolds, sidebar stays

Proof: a unit test and a browser test that fail on main (the browser test failed 4/4 without the guard), plus the manual flow above in a dev build.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at d040b8b

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a small, well-scoped shortcut bug fix: Cmd/Ctrl+B bolds selected rich-text content, while a caret-only press toggles the sidebar without storing accidental bold formatting. The production changes are localized and covered by unit and browser tests.

📝 Walkthrough

The rich-text composer and sidebar now distinguish Mod+B based on selection state. The shortcut matcher claims the shortcut only when text is selected. The composer extension handles Mod+B when the selection is empty. Tests cover both selection states and keyboard layouts.

Changes: Selection-aware bold shortcut

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Selection-aware shortcut routing apps/web/src/keybindings.ts, apps/web/src/components/AppSidebarLayout.tsx, apps/web/src/keybindings.test.ts	isRichTextBoldShortcut now requires a non-collapsed selection. The sidebar passes the current selection to the matcher. Tests cover selection state and key-layout cases.
Composer bold handling apps/web/src/composer-rich-text-doc.ts, apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.tsx, apps/web/src/components/ComposerPromptEditorTiptap.input.browser.test.tsx	The rich-text composer adds an extension that handles Mod+B when the selection is empty. Browser tests check that empty selection does not set bold marks and selected text becomes bold.

The shortcut behavior may be working, but the new test does not protect the promised sidebar toggle. Add an app-shell assertion before relying on that coverage.

152-170: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Cover the sidebar result in an app-shell browser test.

The editor-only test can pass when the caret shortcut fails to toggle the sidebar. It checks only that Tiptap did not set a stored mark. Add an app-shell browser test that focuses the composer, sends Mod+B with a collapsed selection, and asserts the data-sidebar-state value changes. The existing unit test only checks shortcut classification and does not cover toggleSidebar().
