What
The internal store that manages plugin UI panes (custom panels a plugin can display) now tracks which panes you've already been "asked" about on a per-plugin basis, and closes all of a plugin's open panes when that plugin is removed. Whether opening a pane needs to ask you first now depends on the terminal's column width, compared against one threshold for panes you've already been asked about and a different, separate threshold for panes you haven't.
Why
This should reduce repeated prompts for panes you've already approved, while still asking before opening a new pane if the terminal is too narrow to show it well.
