Automatically Hide Threads From Disconnected Environments

[louisefindlay23]

When an environment is offline, its threads remain, which clutters the list with threads I can't work on. The existing behaviour of removing a connection when its offline is inconvenient because then I have to manually reconnect it when it's online.

Proposed Behaviour

Automatically hide threads belonging to an unavailable environment from the combined sidebar and thread list.

• Keep the saved connection and cached conversations.
• Continue attempting to reconnect.
• Restore the threads automatically when the environment reconnects.
• Preserve their existing lifecycle state and saved arrangement.

This could be a setting to preserve existing behaviour.

I found the earlier automatic-hide proposal in #8414 and the offline status alternative in #8935. I also saw that draft #22768 proposes offline status and reversible local hiding, while #11671 provides an explicit disconnect server action on web and desktop.

I'm specifically looking for automatic hiding of all threads from a unavailable environment. Is that already planned?

Implementation

If this has maintainer support, I have an early version of this in a fork (though through automatic behaviour rather than a setting)
