Subject: kernel: respect column-visibility feature flags on edit pages
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Removed hardcoded display_mode=edit guard that unconditionally hid left/right
columns — let the existing feature-flag mechanism in BitThemes::loadLayout() control
column visibility instead.
