“Temporarily disable unsupported grid and split interactions in the Agents Window single pane layout until full support is implemented in 331469. Current partial split support exposes interactions that do not behave consistently, including focus not switching the expected Files/Changes details and files opening into the wrong editor. Expected behavior: Do not expose split/grid affordances that the single pane layout cannot complete correctly. Prevent users from entering unsupported split states t”

“Fully support grid and split interactions in the Agents Window single pane layout.
