The three columns were sized the wrong way round. The workarea had a fixed width capped at 960 and the chat took whatever was left, so on a wide screen chat swallowed every extra pixel — 1270px of it on a 2560 display, against a workarea stuck at its cap — and on a narrow one there was nothing left to take and chat was squeezed out of view entirely. The chat column is now the fixed one, and the workarea takes the remainder. Chat starts at 480 and cannot go below 380, so it survives any window; the workarea grows instead of capping, which is what a pipeline or run view wants the room for. Below the width where all three can hold their minimum, the left dock gives up its width and shows its icon rail. Only a collapse this performs is undone on the way back out: someone who closed the dock themselves and then widened the window meant to keep it closed. That rail is only as useful as its icons, and two of them were not pulling their weight: Resources wore the same folder as Project, so the two were indistinguishable with the titles hidden, and Runs wore a play triangle, which reads as a button that starts something rather than a list of what has already run. The Tangent flag also moves next to Projects, since one is where the other is used, and loses a name and a description that named the workspace concept the UI does not otherwise expose.

Problem
The three columns were sized the wrong way round. The workarea had a fixed
width capped at
960, and the chat column tookflex-1— whatever was left:On a wide screen chat swallowed every extra pixel — about 1270px of it on a
2560 display — while the workarea sat stuck at its cap, which is backwards for
the column that holds a pipeline graph. On a narrow screen there was nothing
left to take:
320 + 960already exceeds a 1280 viewport, so withshrink-0onthe workarea and
min-w-0on chat, the chat column was squeezed to zero anddisappeared.
What changed
The roles are swapped. Chat is the fixed column with a floor; the workarea takes
the remainder and grows:
any window size. The drag handle moves to the chat column's right edge, which
is the same boundary as before — it now drives chat's width rather than the
workarea's.
room on a large display.
380 + workarea 420 = 1020), the left dock gives up its width and shows its
icon rail.
The auto-collapse only undoes a collapse it performed itself. Someone who closed
the dock and then widened the window meant to keep it closed, and reopening it
under them would read as the app fighting the mouse.
Rail icons
A rail is only as useful as its icons, and two were not pulling their weight
once the titles were hidden:
Folder— identical to ProjectFileTextPlay— reads as "start something"ListChecksAll six are now distinct: Project
Folder, SessionsMessagesSquare, AgentsBot, AssetsFiles, ResourcesFileText, RunsListChecks.Beta flags
Tangent Shellmoves next toProjects— one is where the other is used — andbecomes just Tangent. Its description named the workspace concept, which the
UI does not otherwise expose:

cover the collapse logic only.
