+ * Effective collapse state for rendering (MOBILE-SHELL-PARITY defect 1).
+ *
+ * The mobile drawer is ALWAYS full-width (`!w-64`), and AppSidebar forces
+ * SidebarNav + WorkspaceSwitcher to `:collapsed="false"` inside it. But this
+ * header read `shell.sidebarCollapsed` directly, so if a user had collapsed
+ * the sidebar on desktop, the mobile drawer rendered a *collapsed* brand row
+ * (logo-only, no wordmark, plus the expand-chevron row) inside a 256px panel —
+ * mismatched against the expanded nav/switcher and reading as the reported
+ * "logo placement is incorrect" defect.
+ *
+ * effectiveCollapsed gates every collapse-dependent branch below: on desktop
+ * it honours shell.sidebarCollapsed; on mobile it is always false, so the
+ * drawer header matches the expanded nav/switcher exactly.
