-# --- the interactive draft sidebar ------------------------------------------
-# A left-edge panel that lists the drafts waiting to post. Unlike the status
-# overlay (which is pointer-events:none and purely cosmetic), the sidebar is
-# INTERACTIVE: pointer-events:auto, buttons the user can click. Because a button
-# runs in the page's JS world and cannot call Python/CDP directly, the click
-# bridge is a poll: a click stashes {id, ts} on window.__sapsClick, and the
-# Python watch loop reads + clears it each tick, then drives the preview
-# (navigate to the tweet + type the draft into the reply box, NEVER submit).
-#
-# Same CSP discipline as the status overlay: createElement + element.style.<prop>
-# + textContent only, click handlers via addEventListener (NOT inline attrs / no
-# innerHTML). The two elements are kept deliberately separate so the sidebar's
-# pointer-events:auto can never bleed into the cosmetic status overlay and start
-# intercepting the automation's own clicks.
