Subject: [PATCH] Auto-open nav bar with thumbnails for multi-page documents

- Automatically show nav bar and thumbnail panel when loading PDF files
- Hide nav bar when switching to single-page documents
- Apply auto-toggle on initial load and document navigation
- Thumbnails are already generated via DocumentManager.open_document()
