# Sidebar toggle animated icon

The sidebar collapses to a rail. Light: the divider leans open a touch, then drives left, the sidebar's tint narrowing with it, and hits the rail with a small rebound; a beat later the chevron flips over to point back out and nudges that way. Strong: a bigger lean, a harder drive that hits the rail and rebounds twice, and the chevron flips and kicks out farther before it settles. The frame never moves. The reverse reopens the panel.
