Subject: [PATCH] fix(dashboard): make resize handles always visible in edit
 mode

- Change resize handles from hover-only to always visible in edit mode
- Handles now show at 60% opacity in edit mode
- Brighten to 100% opacity on hover for visual feedback
- Update UI hint to explicitly mention green dots on corners/edges
- Makes resize functionality more discoverable
- Improves UX by showing affordances clearly
