Summary

Adds a collapsible right sidebar to the tree navigation page for capturing freeform notes (IPs, error codes, server names) during troubleshooting sessions
New PATCH /api/v1/sessions/{id}/scratchpad endpoint for lightweight auto-saves (works on both active and completed sessions)
Scratchpad content included in all 3 export formats (markdown, text, HTML) as "Evidence / Reference" section when non-empty

Changes

Backend

Migration: New scratchpad Text column on sessions table with server_default='' and backfill
Model/Schemas: scratchpad field on Session model, SessionUpdate, SessionResponse (with None→"" normalizer), new ScratchpadUpdate schema
PATCH endpoint: Dedicated /scratchpad endpoint — intentionally allows updates on completed sessions
Export integration: "Evidence / Reference" section rendered before "Troubleshooting Steps" in all 3 generators, only when scratchpad.strip() is non-empty
11 new integration tests

Frontend

Types + API client: scratchpad on Session/SessionUpdate interfaces, updateScratchpad() method
ScratchpadSidebar component: 300px open / 48px collapsed, 1000ms debounce auto-save, markdown preview toggle, save indicator (idle/unsaved/saving/saved/error), beforeunload warning, localStorage collapse persistence
TreeNavigationPage: Restructured from single-column to flex layout with sidebar

Test plan

Run alembic upgrade head to apply migration
Verify \d sessions shows scratchpad | text column
Run pytest -v — all tests pass (existing + 11 new)
Start a session, verify scratchpad sidebar appears on the right
Type notes, verify auto-save after 1s of inactivity ("Saving..." → "Saved")
Collapse/expand sidebar, refresh page — collapse state persists
Toggle markdown preview — renders correctly
Export session — scratchpad content appears under "Evidence / Reference"
Export session with empty scratchpad — no "Evidence / Reference" section
Update scratchpad on a completed session — should succeed
npm run build passes clean
