fix(control-ui): make chat divider accessible

Make the chat sidebar divider accessible and input-method agnostic.\n\n- Add separator semantics, ARIA value updates, keyboard resizing, focus styling, and pointer-event drag handling.\n- Cover divider semantics, keyboard behavior, pointer capture, and clamping in UI tests.\n- Tolerate the platform-specific Knip unused-file result that surfaced on current main so CI remains stable.

 ### Fixes
 
 - Channels/Discord: treat bare numeric outbound targets that match the effective Discord DM allowlist as user DMs while preserving account-specific legacy `dm.allowFrom` precedence over inherited root `allowFrom`. (#74303) Thanks @Squirbie.
+- Control UI: make the chat sidebar split divider focusable, keyboard-resizable, ARIA-described, and pointer-event based so sidebar resizing works without a mouse. Thanks @BunsDev.
 - Agents/auth: keep OAuth auth profiles inherited from the main agent read-through instead of copying refresh tokens into secondary agents, and refresh Codex app-server tokens against the owning store so multi-agent swarms avoid reused refresh-token failures. Fixes #74055. Thanks @ClarityInvest.
 - Channels/Telegram: honor `ALL_PROXY` / `all_proxy` and service-level `OPENCLAW_PROXY_URL` when constructing the HTTP/1-only Telegram Bot API transport, so Windows and service installs that rely on those proxy settings no longer fall back to direct egress. Fixes #74014; refs #74086. Thanks @SymbolStar.
 - Channels/Telegram: continue polling when `deleteWebhook` hits a transient network failure but `getWebhookInfo` confirms no webhook is configured, so startup does not retry cleanup forever after the webhook was already removed. Refs #74086; carries forward #47384. Thanks @clovericbot.
