Subject: [PATCH] Stop project panel from over-expanding on focus
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Focus previously switched the box from Size to Weight: 2, giving the
panel ~2/7 of the side area regardless of how many rows it had. That
also ignored Gui.ExpandFocusedSidePanel — every other side panel only
expands on focus when accordion mode is on.

Route the project box through the same accordionBox helper as the
others. Stays fitted to content normally; expands on focus only when
the user opted in.
