Fix desktop context menu rendering

[krishkalaria12]

• replace the desktop native context menu path with the in-app renderer menu so thread/project right-click menus no longer show the extra backdrop layer in the frameless window
• clean up the fallback context menu rendering by resetting native button chrome, keeping a single menu surface, preserving outside-click/escape dismissal, and adding the destructive separator before Delete
• stop contextmenu propagation on sidebar rows and fix the desktop dev script so bun run dev:desktop reliably starts both the bundle watcher and Electron

Note

Replace native Electron context menus with in-app context menus in the desktop sidebar

• Removes the desktop:context-menu IPC channel, the showContextMenu bridge method, and contextMenu.show from NativeApi, replacing all native/Electron menu rendering with a React-based implementation.
• Adds a reusable context-menu.tsx component backed by @base-ui/react/context-menu, used directly in Sidebar.tsx.
• Thread and project context menus now render in-app with the same actions (rename, mark unread, copy ID, delete), including multi-select variants that display item counts.
• Deletes the DOM-based contextMenuFallback.ts previously used in non-Electron environments.
• Behavioral Change: window.desktopBridge.showContextMenu and nativeApi.contextMenu.show no longer exist; any external callers will get undefined.

Not sure what happened to the diff but github is now convinced you edited a bunch of stuff you didn't. Rebase on main I guess

Cleaned it up and dropped the unrelated desktop dev-script change. It was already on top of main, so no real rebase was needed i guess

@krishkalaria12 pls resolve conflicts / rebase

I have resolved the conflicts,, can you check once ?

[juliusmarminge]

i don't understand the issue with the native one. can you post some before/after pics that explains it?

[maria-rcks]

it looks mostly out of place on linux window managers, and keeping the styling of the app on the menu would be nice

maybe it's just that I'm a sucker for keeping things native but the built in macos picker looks a lot better than the current web one imo. if we're going web only we should use the base-ui one: https://base-ui.com/react/components/context-menu

Maybe if you want, the changes can be done only for linux and keep the other os as it is ?
What do you prefer ?

[krishkalaria12]

I have done it using base ui
