Add tools to programmatically open terminal sessions, split panes, etc. Currently Claude can open diff panes but not other VS Code UI elements like terminals for monitoring long-running processes. Right now Claude keeps sequentially trying to run tail commands to watch the output but times out every two minutes. It could instead open a pane for the user to watch progress and then prompt when it's stopped or otherwise gone wrong.
