How AI was used in this PR
The whole PR was written with Claude Code: it reverted #3777, restored the previous user menu, and made the follow-up edits (Settings menu item, logged-out gear button). Code reviewed by the author.
Proposed Changes
This reverts the user-menu consolidation from #3777 and takes a different direction.
The consolidation replaced the sidebar footer's avatar + name menu with a plain "Settings" link, moving account actions into a Settings → Account tab. In practice that traded away two things: the at-a-glance identity in the sidebar, and one-click access to frequent actions (theme switching, log out), which now required navigating to a settings page.
This PR restores the previous user menu — avatar + display name opening a dropdown with the account email, profile link, documentation, issue reporting, and log out, alongside the quick theme toggle — and moves the "Settings" link inside that dropdown instead of keeping a separate footer button. Clicking your own avatar/name to find Settings is the conventional pattern, and it leaves a single, smaller footer control.
