Placement of a panel is also gated on how wide the terminal window is: panels that don't fit below a size threshold are marked as \"not placed\" and show a message explaining that they'll open once the terminal is widened or the user reopens them.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis keeps plugin panels from prompting repeatedly once dismissed and avoids trying to cram a side panel into a terminal window that's too narrow to show it properly.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
