DottaandPaperclip 009410164f Fix inbox unread badge alignment (#9685)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The Inbox lets operators scan task state and distinguish unread
activity at a glance
> - Read and unread rows should keep the same status-and-title alignment
so the list remains easy to scan
> - The mark-read dot previously participated in flex layout, which
added an extra leading column and visibly indented unread rows
> - Parent rows also needed special handling because their collapse
chevron occupies the normal leading gutter
> - This pull request moves the unread dot out of desktop flex flow,
preserves a consistent leading spacer, and positions parent-row dots
after the chevron
> - The benefit is consistent alignment for read, unread, leaf, nested,
and collapsible parent rows without hiding tree controls

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

### What happened?

In the Inbox, an unread row rendered its status icon and title farther
right than an equivalent read row because the mark-read dot occupied its
own flex column. On a collapsible parent row, the dot also competed with
the leading chevron.
### Expected behavior

Read and unread Inbox rows keep identical status/title alignment while
preserving the unread affordance and any tree-expansion controls.
### Steps to reproduce

  1. Run Paperclip from `master` and open the Inbox at desktop width.
  2. Compare otherwise-equivalent read and unread leaf rows.
  3. Expand a task tree containing an unread depth-zero parent.
4. Observe the unread row indentation and the dot competing with the
parent chevron.
### Paperclip version or commit

Reproduced against the pre-fix `master` parent of this PR.
- **Deployment mode:** Local dev (`pnpm dev`).
- **Installation method:** Built from source.
- **Agent adapters involved:** Not adapter-specific; this is a core
Inbox UI bug.
- **Database mode:** Not database-related.
- **Access context:** Board (human operator).
- **Additional context:** No logs or configuration are involved; the
regression is visual layout behavior covered by focused component/page
tests.

## What Changed

- Render the desktop unread dot as an absolute overlay so it does not
consume row width; retain the existing in-flow behavior on mobile.
- Add an `unreadDotPlacement` option so depth-zero collapsible parents
place the dot after the leading chevron.
- Reserve the same leading spacer for read and unread non-chevron Inbox
rows.
- Expand `IssueRow` and Inbox tests to cover leaf alignment, nested
rows, parent chevrons, fading state, and mobile behavior.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/IssueRow.test.tsx
ui/src/pages/Inbox.test.tsx` — 2 files, 30 tests passed.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` — all three token gates clean across 630
scanned files.
- Browser QA (desktop 1280px and mobile 375px) — PASS: read/unread
desktop content measured at identical x positions; nested guides, parent
chevron hit target, fading state, and mobile mark-read hit targets
verified.

## Risks

- Low risk: the change is isolated to Inbox row presentation and has
focused regression coverage.
- The main visual risk is breakpoint-specific placement of the mark-read
dot; tests explicitly cover desktop absolute positioning and mobile
in-flow positioning.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex `gpt-5.6-sol`, high reasoning effort, with
repository/tool execution. The runtime did not expose a context-window
size.
- Original implementation commit also records assistance from Claude
Opus 4.8.
