Previously the sidebar was rendered from the default snap-in configuration by indexing every entry as a (snap-in id, visibility) pair. An entry of any other shape - a new style dictionary, or a malformed entry from a hand written sidebar setting - made the whole user interface fail with KeyError: 0 or TypeError: 'set' object is not subscriptable, so affected users saw a crash report on every page instead of Checkmk.

Entries that can be interpreted are now used regardless of their shape, and entries that cannot are ignored instead of breaking the sidebar.

Only users without a saved sidebar configuration of their own were affected.
