Problem Statement

The Claude Desktop app's code tab and chat tab output area is too narrow and doesn't take advantage of available screen space on wide monitors. The content is constrained to a narrow column even when the window is maximized on a wide display.

Proposed Solution

The output pane should use the full available width of the window, or at minimum provide a way to resize/configure the content width.
