Thank you! I did not manually test but I did grep for any dangling references and found none.
Could you tidy up the PR description before merging?

it's pretty silly to have a REST API just for as single switch. even siller that it's parameterized on the course_id while the switch is site-wide. it would make a lot more sense if this were a waffle flag which got fed to the MFE Config API. (no changes needed, not a problem for now--just writing down my thoughts while I'm here.)

The behavior of the MariaDB backend has changed behavior for UUIDField from a `CharField(32)` to an actual `uuid` type. This is not converted automatically, which results in all writes to the affected columns to error with a message about the data being too long. This is because the actual string being written is a UUID with the `-` included, resulting in a 36 character value which can't be inserted into a 32 character column. fix: renamed migration to 0016 Update cms/djangoapps/contentstore/migrations/0016_mariadb_uuid_conversion.py Co-authored-by: David Ormsbee <dave@axim.org> refactor: remove deprecated sidebar toggles (openedx#37983) DEPR ticket: openedx/public-engineering#316 feat: Add Waffle flag for AuthZ for Course Authoring (openedx#37985) build: Upgrade to `ora2==6.17.2` which removes loremipsum base dep (openedx#37991) We hope this will fix an error where loremipsum is using pkg_resources, which setuptools dropped support for as of v82 (released yesterday). fix: Nits on styles of library icon [FC-0114] (openedx#37980) - Fixes the issues described in openedx/frontend-app-authoring#2762 (comment): - Changed the background color for the library icon in the unit page. - Update punctuation for the library icon tooltip in the unit page. - Allows breaking the tooltip into multiple lines. refactor: xblock api upstream info and course details api (openedx#37971) - Returns top parent key instead of boolean in upstream info api - Adds edited_on raw time in course outline api - Adds has_changes to course details api feat: Add enable_authz_course_authoring flag to course_waffle_flags endpoint (openedx#37990) Discussion service to enable permission and access provider (openedx#37912) * chore: discussion service to enable permission and access provider

Description
This PR removes the sidebar toggles that have been deprecated. See
The learning MFE no longer uses these, and site operators can instead now customize this behavior by utilizing Frontend Plugin Framework slots. See
Testing instructions
I verified the Learning MFE renders properly and does not produce any API errors, both locally and in the PR sandbox.
