I've reviewed the patch and can confirm it meets criteria set out in the descriptione. Noting that the menu's state does not persist which is consistent with the main menu but wanted to check @ovasileva and @JScherer-WMF are not expecting that?

Create spike on making the decision on whether we should load the menu on pageload

I believe this is already covered in T351562.

QA Steps

Go to https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portada&vectorclientpreferences=1 as a logged-out user

✅ AC1: Client preferences menu should default to unpinned for logged-out users

Go to https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portada&vectorclientpreferences=1 as a logged-in user
✅ AC2: Client preferences menu should default to unpinned for both logged-in
//to validate this I used a user that I haven't used for a long time so the previous setting (pinned/unpinned) would not impact the test)
