Toggle-list appearance in Docs
The /toggle, /collapse, and /expand commands work as described. When the high-contrast treatment is enabled, authenticated Docs renders the toggle-list chevron with a persistent background pill at rest, while hover keeps its existing treatment. This is a visual Docs-only change; command availability and behavior in Tasks, comments, Chat, text cards, and Notepad are unchanged. Public Docs, public sharing, the embedded editor, comment composers and quotes, Inbox comment-mention previews, and mobile surfaces are not covered.
