Refine mobile workspace slider and dropzone layout

## Description of Changes

- Removed unused `React` default imports across multiple frontend
components.
- Updated imports to only include required React hooks and types (e.g.,
`useState`, `useEffect`, `Suspense`, `createContext`).
- Ensured consistency with React 17+ JSX transform, where default
`React` import is no longer required.
- This cleanup reduces bundle size slightly and aligns code with modern
React best practices.
