fix: disable terminal UI, fix hydration mismatch

- Remove terminal button from UnifiedTopBar and TerminalDrawer rendering
  Terminal feature disabled until proper node-pty + xterm.js integration
- Fix ChatListPanel hydration mismatch: chatListOpenRaw/chatListWidth
  used window-dependent initializers causing SSR/client divergence
- Improve TerminalInstance for future use: stable useEffect deps,
  ANSI rendering via ansi-to-react, focus management
- Clear CLAUDECODE env var in terminal-manager to allow nested sessions
