Chapter Navigation Menu Always Expands Chapter 1

[ymhcanada]

Issue Statement:
The right-side course navigation menu incorrectly auto-expands Chapter 1 on every page load, regardless of the user’s current position, resulting in multiple chapters being expanded simultaneously and inconsistent navigation behavior.

Issue Detailed Description:
The right-side navigation menu does not properly manage or persist the expanded state of chapters based on user context.

Actual behavior observed:

• When a user is in a later chapter (e.g., Chapter 4), the correct chapter is expanded in the menu.
• However, Chapter 1 is also always expanded by default, regardless of where the user is in the course.
• This results in multiple chapters (Chapter 1 + current chapter) being expanded at the same time.

This occurs consistently across:

• Page refresh
• Clicking “Next” between lessons
• Navigating between chapters (e.g., moving to Chapter 5)

As a result:

• The navigation menu becomes cluttered and less intuitive.
• Chapter 1 is persistently forced open, even when irrelevant to the user’s current location.
• The UI does not accurately reflect a clean, context-aware navigation state.

Steps to Replicate the Issue:

1. Open a course in Frappe LMS.
2. Navigate to a lesson in a later chapter (e.g., Chapter 4).
3. Observe the right-side menu:
   • Chapter 4 is expanded (expected)
   • Chapter 1 is also expanded (unexpected)
4. Refresh the page.
5. Observe that:
   • You remain on Chapter 4 content
   • Both Chapter 1 and Chapter 4 are expanded
6. Click “Next” to navigate to another lesson or chapter (e.g., Chapter 5).
7. Observe that:
   • Chapter 5 expands
   • Chapter 1 remains expanded
8. Repeat and confirm Chapter 1 is always expanded regardless of location.

@pateljannat @raizasafeel I think this is a bug rather than intentional. The issue is that Chapter 1 expands on every page load regardless of context, which clutters the UI. I've traced the problem and have a fix ready. Should I open a PR for review?
