Internally it also switched to a shared \"placement\" model that tracks a pane's offset, whether it has been placed, and a dedicated view state, replacing older, more ad hoc positioning logic.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is mostly internal plumbing, but it means panes shown above the prompt should size and position themselves more reliably across different terminal widths.\n\n- Area: Plugin UI\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
