Better avatars for document @ mentions, and profile avatar fixes

Improvement
  • Refined the avatar style for @ mentioned members in the document editor, so members look more consistent and are easier to recognize.

Quick-create entries and smoother expand actions in the sidebar

  • Hovering the quick icon for one second shows a tooltip so the entry is easier to understand, and the icon hides again when you move the mouse away, keeping the sidebar visually clean.
  • Refined the position and animation of the expand and collapse arrows for “All projects” and “Tags”, so each section's state is clear at a glance.
  • Fixed an extra background that appeared when hovering the project list expand arrow in dark mode, making hover feedback cleaner on the dark interface.
