Kpa-clawbot cea2c70d12 feat(#1034): channel UX redesign PR1 — Add Channel modal + sectioned sidebar (#1037)
## Summary

PR 1 of 3 for #1034 — channel UX redesign. Replaces the cramped inline
"type a name or 32-hex blob" form with a clear modal dialog, and
reorganizes the sidebar into three labeled sections.

**Scope of this PR:** Modal UI + sectioned sidebar. QR generation/scan
is deferred to PR #2 (placeholders are wired and ready).
`channel-decrypt.js` crypto is untouched.

## What changed

### New modal: `[+ Add Channel]`

Triggered by the new sidebar button. Three sections:

1. **Generate PSK Channel** — name + `[Generate & Show QR]` →
`crypto.getRandomValues(16)` → hex → `ChannelDecrypt.storeKey`. QR
rendering ships in PR #2; for now `#qr-output` surfaces the hex key as
text.
2. **Add Private Channel (PSK)** — 32-hex input (regex-validated),
optional display name, `[Add]`. `[📷 Scan QR]` placeholder is present but
`disabled` (PR #2 wires it).
3. **Monitor Hashtag Channel** — non-editable `#` prefix + free text +
case-sensitivity warning + `[Monitor]`. Reuses
`ChannelDecrypt.deriveKey`.

Privacy footer: _"🔒 Keys stay in your browser. CoreScope is a passive
observer..."_

Close ✕, backdrop click, and Escape all dismiss.

### Sectioned sidebar

`renderChannelList()` rewritten to render three sections:

- **My Channels** — `userAdded` channels. ✕ always visible. Last sender
+ relative time.
- **Network** — server-known cleartext channels.
- **Encrypted (N)** — collapsed by default (toggle persists in
`localStorage`). Shows hash byte + packet count.

The legacy "🔒 No key" checkbox and `#chShowEncrypted` toggle are removed
entirely. Encrypted channels are always fetched; the renderer groups
them.

## Tests

- **Unit** — `test-channel-modal-ux.js` (33 assertions): added to
`test-all.sh`. Covers sidebar button, modal markup, three sections, QR
placeholders, privacy footer, sectioned sidebar, modal handlers (incl.
`crypto.getRandomValues(16)`).
- **E2E** — `test-channel-modal-e2e.js` (Playwright, 14 steps). Covers
modal open/close, section rendering, invalid-hex error, valid-hex
storage, encrypted-section toggle. Run with:
  ```
CHROMIUM_PATH=/usr/bin/chromium-browser BASE_URL=http://localhost:38201
node test-channel-modal-e2e.js
  ```
- `test-channel-psk-ux.js` — updated to reference `#chPskName` (was
`#chKeyLabelInput`).

### Red→green proof

- Red commit (`7ee421b`): test added with 31 expected assertion
failures, no source change.
- Green commit (`897be8f`): implementation lands, test passes 33/33.

## Browser-validated

Built `cmd/server/`, ran against `test-fixtures/e2e-fixture.db`,
exercised modal open → invalid hex → valid hex → key persisted → modal
closes → sectioned sidebar renders + Encrypted toggle expands. All 14
E2E steps pass.

## What's NOT in this PR

- QR code rendering (PR #2)
- Camera/QR scanning (PR #2)
- Migration of legacy localStorage format (PR #3, if needed — current
key format is unchanged)
- `channel-decrypt.js` changes (none — UI-only PR)

## Acceptance criteria from #1034

- [x] Modal opens on `[+ Add Channel]` click
- [x] Three sections clearly separated with labels
- [x] Add PSK: accepts 32-hex (QR scan = PR #2)
- [x] Monitor Hashtag: derives key, case-sensitivity warning shown
- [x] Privacy footer present
- [x] Sidebar: three sections (My Channels / Network / Encrypted)
- [x] ✕ button visible and functional on My Channels entries
- [x] "No key" checkbox removed
- [ ] Generate PSK QR display — text fallback only; QR is PR #2
- [ ] Old stored keys migrate seamlessly — no migration needed (storage
format unchanged)
