Archive selected threads from the context menu

[theduke]

Cleaning up several finished threads currently requires archiving them one at a time. Add Archive to the multi-select context menu so a group of selected threads can be archived in one action.

The action confirms once when archive confirmation is enabled. It is disabled when any selected thread has an active turn, and selection stays consistent across full success, partial failure, and post-archive navigation failures.

Tests cover the bulk Archive menu item, selected-thread count, running-thread state, and bulk archive outcome handling.

Note

Medium Risk
Bulk archive touches thread mutations, selection state, and optional navigation when the active thread is archived; failure handling is new but scoped to sidebar actions with tests for the batch helper.

Overview
Adds Archive (N) to the sidebar multi-select thread context menu so several selected threads can be archived in one action. The item is disabled when any selection has an active running turn, and it respects the existing confirm archive setting with a single bulk prompt.

Bulk archiving runs through new archiveSelectedThreadEntries logic: it archives sequentially, stops on a failed mutation while keeping already-archived keys, and treats post-archive failures (e.g. navigation) as follow-up failures while continuing the rest. archiveThread now accepts an optional onArchived hook and refreshes archived-thread state immediately after a successful mutation.

Multi-select mark unread and delete now resolve threads via parseScopedThreadKey and readThreadShell instead of the sidebar thread map alone.

Note

Add bulk archive to the sidebar multi-select thread context menu

• Adds an Archive option to the multi-select context menu in Sidebar.tsx, disabled when any selected thread is running.
• Introduces archiveSelectedThreadEntries in Sidebar.logic.ts to iterate entries, invoking a caller-supplied archive function and collecting archived keys, the first mutation failure, and any post-archive failures.
• On partial failure, only successfully archived threads are removed from the selection; on full success, the selection is cleared.
• archiveThread in useThreadActions.ts now accepts an optional onArchived callback and refreshes archived threads before any post-archive navigation.
• Behavioral Change: archiveThread previously refreshed archived threads after navigation in the success branch; it now refreshes before navigation.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs human review

This PR introduces a new bulk archive feature with non-trivial failure handling logic. An unresolved review comment identifies a potential bug where selection cleanup may clear the wrong keys after archiving.
