Sidebar items (including task names) truncate long labels with an ellipsis. Show the full label in a tooltip on hover when, and only when, the label is actually overflowing. Follows the existing pattern used in Combobox.tsx. Generated-By: PostHog Code Task-Id: 6339d494-8d63-4b68-927e-e97318d257e6

Summary
When a Task name (or any other sidebar item label) is long enough to be truncated with an ellipsis in the left sidebar, hovering the label now reveals the full name in a tooltip. The tooltip only appears when the label is actually overflowing — it stays out of the way when the full name is already visible.
The implementation lives in
apps/code/src/renderer/features/sidebar/components/SidebarItem.tsxand follows the existing pattern used inCombobox.tsx(comparescrollWidthvsclientWidthonmouseenter, drive a controlled RadixTooltip).Because all sidebar items pass through
SidebarItem, this also benefits long skill names, command center entries, etc.Test plan
