Dotta 824298f414 Route sidebar search icon directly to search (#5440)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Operators use the sidebar as their primary board navigation surface
> - The board now has a dedicated search page, so the header search icon
should behave as normal navigation instead of only dispatching a
command-palette shortcut
> - The Work nav also had a separate Search row, which duplicated the
always-visible header search affordance
> - This pull request keeps search one click away while making it a
direct `/search` link and reducing sidebar nav noise
> - The benefit is a smaller, clearer sidebar with search still
accessible from the top-level chrome

## What Changed

- Changed the sidebar header search icon into a direct `NavLink` to
`/search`.
- Removed the duplicate `Search` row from the Work navigation section.
- Added focused Sidebar coverage that asserts the header search link
target and confirms Search is not rendered in the Work nav.
- Refactored the Sidebar test setup helper to avoid repeating the React
Query wrapper across tests.

## Verification

- `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` in the PR worktree so workspace
package symlinks existed for test execution. This completed with
existing plugin SDK bin warnings for missing built artifacts.
- `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/components/Sidebar.test.tsx` — 3 passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck` — passed.

## Risks

- Low: this changes a sidebar navigation affordance only. Users who
previously clicked the header icon now land on the full search page
instead of opening the command-palette shortcut path.
- Low: removing the Work nav Search row could affect users who expected
Search in that section, but the icon remains in the fixed sidebar header
and is covered by a targeted DOM test.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent, GPT-5 model family (`gpt-5`), tool-enabled
Paperclip heartbeat environment. Context window and internal reasoning
mode are not exposed by the runtime.
