Problem or use case
The thread minimap (the tick-mark strip on the left of the chat, added in #1915) is always on, with no way to turn it off.
I never use it to navigate, but it permanently takes up the left gutter, adds visual noise next to every message, and pops hover previews over the chat content whenever my cursor passes near that edge.
For people who navigate long threads by scrolling or search, it's pure clutter with no off switch.
Proposed solution
Add a "Show thread minimap" toggle under Settings > Behavior, default ON so nothing changes for existing users.
When OFF:
Smallest useful scope
A single persisted boolean in behavior settings that skips rendering the minimap component. Gutter removal and a keybinding to toggle it can follow.
