Switching between Personal, Work, Org, and Student contexts

The context switcher lives behind your avatar in the top-right of the header. Click your avatar → "Switch context" to open the switcher.

The switcher lists every lens your account has access to, grouped by type — in the same order most people organize their lives:

1. Personal — always at the top. Your single human-scale lens.
2. Student — when you're enrolled in an Education-module org (reserved for when Education ships).
3. Work — the employee lens for any org you belong to as a worker. Shows paystubs, schedule, time clock, assigned tasks — filtered for people who work there, not admin chrome.
4. Organization — the admin lens for any org you own or admin. Today's full admin UI.

Compact rows: if you only have one Work or Org context, the row clicks straight through. If you have multiple, the row expands into a flyout (or accordion on touch devices) so you can pick the specific org without scrolling past a long flat list.

Visual cues: each org row shows the org's Google favicon (auto-resolved from its website), falling back to its uploaded logo, falling back to a one-letter chip. Easier to scan visually than reading org names. The Personal row shows your own avatar.

The current lens always has a checkmark next to it. Clicking the active lens takes you back to its landing page — useful when you've wandered into a sub-page and want to "go home" inside the same context.

Always-visible at the bottom: "Start something with Wally" — the escape hatch to spin up a brand-new organization without ever leaving the menu.

The lens you pick is remembered in localStorage, so future sign-ins land in the same context. Visiting a /me/* URL temporarily flips you to Personal regardless of the saved choice — refreshing your personal calendar never leaves you in a stale org lens.

What's the same across contexts: your account, your sign-in, your identity. What changes: which nav items show up, which dashboards load, and which docs you're allowed to write. Switching contexts doesn't change *who* you are, only *which* lens you're looking through.
