fix: normalize drop indicator to single line between channels

Port the SpaceSidebar normalization pattern: convert 'before B'
to 'after A' so only one drop indicator renders at any gap.
Fixes double-line visual glitch and unreliable drops when cursor
is between two channels. Also adjust indicator offsets from
top-0/bottom-0 to -top-[1px]/-bottom-[1px] to center in the gap.
