New functionality added to Odoo
Adds a new option that lets users temporarily hide the chatter panel on forms and bring it back when needed. This gives users more horizontal space for complex forms while keeping chatter access available through a small side toggle.

Created as an example for a support speeddate session. Description of the issue/feature this PR addresses: Forms with a chatter panel can lose a significant amount of horizontal space to the chatter, even when the user does not need to interact with it. This can make forms with a lot of content more difficult to use. This PR adds a lightweight global toggle to hide and show the chatter on demand. The toggle is displayed as a small floating tab on the right edge of the viewport and is only shown on views where a chatter is present. Current behavior before PR: The chatter panel is always visible and permanently takes up horizontal space on forms where it is available, even when the user does not need it. Desired behavior after PR is merged: Users can hide the chatter when they need more horizontal space and reopen it when needed using the floating toggle on the right edge of the viewport. The toggle is only displayed on views that contain a chatter. --- I confirm I have signed the CLA and read the PR guidelines at www.odoo.com/submit-pr (no)
