Currently, sidebar.lua is responsible for message processing, server calls, UI presentation, etc. I think this component is probably doing too much, and makes the code difficult to reason about IMO. I think it should be factored out into different modules.

    suggestion, what I did for eca-emacs:

    • eca-api (to request,respond,notify the server)
    • eca-chat (related to chat feature)
    • eca-mcp (related to mcp-details )
    • eca-process (related to server process management)

    Do you have any structure in your mind?
