Generalize the fullscreen rail: parts outside the built-in set render before the branding banner with placement "top" and after the known sections otherwise, in registration order. Top-placed parts keep blank rows so animated parts (reveal frames) hold stable geometry instead of flapping the rail, and only parts with handleMouse own a click region. Older layouts ignore unknown parts, so external extensions (for example a user-level sidebar portrait) degrade invisibly.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe sidebar rail now supports externally registered sections with top or bottom placement. Top sections render before branding and preserve blank rows.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Render branding when no known section is registered.
When an external top or bottom part renders without any known section, sections.length is 0, so the branding banner is skipped. This conflicts with the sidebar placement contract, which places top external parts before branding. Emit branding when at least one rail section rendered, and use railLines.length only to choose the separator. Keep the empty-rail case inactive. Add a regression case with a top external part and no known parts.
Proposed fix
- if (railLines.length === 0 && sections.length && branding.length) {
- railLines.push(...branding.map((line) => " ".repeat(RAIL_PADDING) + line + " ".repeat(RAIL_PADDING)));
- } else if (sections.length && branding.length) {
- railLines.push("");
+ if ((topSections.length || sections.length || bottomSections.length) && branding.length) {
+ if (railLines.length > 0) railLines.push("");
railLines.push(...branding.map((line) => " ".repeat(RAIL_PADDING) + line + " ".repeat(RAIL_PADDING)));

Make the non-interactive hit-target test distinguish the old behavior.
With the former unconditional hits.push(...), the portrait row would still match a hit. Optional handleMouse dispatch would return undefined, then the same nativeMouse(event) fallback would run. The current assertion accepts both results, so it passes with either registration policy.
Give the portrait rail a handleMouse getter that records accesses. Reset the counter after layout preparation, then assert that clicking its row does not read the property. The current no-hit path does not access it; unconditional registration would access it during dispatch.
