BUG-2282: collapsed = off-screen/hidden (mobile drawer slid out via
translateX; desktop width:0). `pointer-events:none` (see .sidebar.collapsed)
blocks the mouse but leaves the nav in the a11y tree + tab order — an SR
virtual cursor / Tab reaches off-screen links. `inert` removes it from both,
matching the same collapsed condition. Safe: the re-open control lives in
TopBar (outside the aside), so this never traps the user; swipe-to-open is a
window handler, not on the aside.
