## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
The canvas toolbar had 28+ flat tool buttons in a single horizontal row that ran off screen on most displays. Redesigned with grouped dropdown menus and a collapse/minimize toggle.

**Changes:**
- 6 category dropdowns: Create, Media, Embed, AI, Travel, Decide
- Direct-access buttons for Connect, Memory, and Zoom controls
- Collapse toggle (◀/▶) to minimize toolbar to a single button
- Mobile responsive: accordion-style groups instead of floating dropdowns
- Click-outside-to-close and auto-close-on-tool-select behavior
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Final Summary

<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
Replaced 28 flat toolbar buttons with 6 grouped dropdowns (Create, Media, Embed, AI, Travel, Decide) plus direct-access Connect/Memory/Zoom buttons. Added collapsible toolbar toggle. Mobile-responsive with accordion-style groups. Commit: 5c3db2c on dev branch.
