+### Changed
+- **Script Rehearser's Stage character list is now a sidebar**, matching Read Aloud's Casting sidebar look exactly (same `.ab-cv-side`/`.ab-char-item` styling: colored dot avatar, name, line count) instead of the old horizontal avatar strip above the transport bar. It sits alongside the script page, collapses to just the avatar dots via the same chevron control, and clicking a character scrolls the script to their first line.
