scotttong e3aada1df2 feat(ui): add Feedback item to the account flyout menu (PAP-107) (#7854)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The web UI has a bottom-left account flyout menu where users reach
profile, docs, and the light/dark toggle
> - There was no in-product way for users to send feedback or report
issues — they had to find an external channel
> - We want a low-friction, always-visible entry point for feedback, and
a clean URL we can re-point later without shipping app changes
> - This pull request adds a **Feedback** item (Megaphone icon) to the
account flyout, between Documentation and the theme toggle, that opens
`https://paperclip.ing/feedback` in a new tab
> - `paperclip.ing/feedback` is a stable indirection (added to the
marketing site) that currently 302-redirects to a Google Form, so the
destination can be swapped for a richer solution later with no app
release
> - The benefit is a one-click feedback path for users and a
future-proof link the team controls

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists (tracked internally as Paperclip PAP-107).
Describing the underlying request inline as a feature, per
CONTRIBUTING.md path (B):

### Problem or motivation

Users have no in-app affordance to give feedback or report issues; that
friction loses signal we'd otherwise act on.

### Proposed solution

Add a Feedback item to the account flyout (Megaphone icon, between
Documentation and the theme toggle) that opens a stable
`paperclip.ing/feedback` URL in a new tab. That URL redirects to a
Google Form for now, keeping the client decoupled from the destination.

### Alternatives considered

Linking the Google Form directly from the app — rejected because it
bakes a throwaway URL into the client; the `/feedback` indirection keeps
the link clean and swappable.

### Roadmap alignment

Small, self-contained UX addition; no overlap with planned core work
(checked ROADMAP.md). The `/feedback` redirect lives in the separate
`paperclip-website` repo (Astro site on Cloudflare Pages), commit
`f65b566`. No duplicate/related PRs found in this repo (searched
feedback/flyout/menu).

## What Changed

- `ui/src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.tsx`: import `Megaphone` from
`lucide-react`; add `FEEDBACK_URL = "https://paperclip.ing/feedback"`
const next to `DOCS_URL`; insert a `Feedback` `MenuAction` between
Documentation and the theme toggle using the `external` prop so it opens
in a new tab (`target="_blank"`, `rel="noreferrer"`) and closes the
popover on click.
- `ui/src/components/SidebarAccountMenu.test.tsx`: assert the Feedback
item renders with the correct `href`, opens in a new tab, and is ordered
after Documentation and before the theme toggle.
- (Separate repo, for context) `paperclip-website` `public/_redirects`:
`/feedback` → 302 → the feedback Google Form.

## Verification

- **Unit tests:** `SidebarAccountMenu` tests pass (item renders, correct
`href`, `target="_blank"`, ordering). Run: `cd ui && npm test --
SidebarAccountMenu`.
- **Manual / canary:** The board previewed the canary build of the menu
item and accepted it. Clicking **Feedback** opens a new tab to
`paperclip.ing/feedback`.
- **Redirect:** After the Cloudflare Pages deploy propagates, `curl -sI
https://paperclip.ing/feedback` returns the Google Form in the
`Location` header.

_Screenshots:_ UI change was validated via the accepted canary preview;
the item reuses the existing `MenuAction` styling, so it visually
matches the Documentation/theme rows.

## Risks

- **Low risk.** Additive, self-contained UI change with no new state or
API calls. The only external dependency is the `paperclip.ing/feedback`
redirect (separate repo, already deployed); if it were missing the link
would 404, but it is in place. No migrations, no breaking changes.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR.
