Sidebar Panel UI: Toggle chat interface from any admin page #2

Description

@pluginslab

Goal

Move Neural Admin interface to a slide-in sidebar panel accessible from anywhere in WordPress admin.

Design

  • Toggle button: Fixed top-right corner (outside admin bar)
  • Panel: Slide-in from right side (~300-400px width)
  • Content: Current chat interface moves into sidebar
  • Behavior:
    • Accessible from any WP admin page
    • Context-aware (knows which admin page user is on)
    • Push content left OR overlay with backdrop?

Benefits

  • Always accessible (not just on Neural Admin page)
  • Better UX for quick SRE tasks
  • Context-aware AI based on current admin page

Implementation Notes

  • Fixed positioning CSS
  • Slide animation (transform translateX)
  • Z-index management
  • Mobile responsive?

Priority

High - improves demo UX for CloudFest

Deadline

Target: Feb 20 (before vector DB work)

    Done: the admin-sidebar bundle is now a webpack entry (webpack.config.js) and loads on every wp-admin page. The chat sidebar is accessible from anywhere, not just the plugin's own admin page.
