Problem Statement

The Preview panel (right side) has no header, label, or icon indicating it's a preview. It only shows the filename in the tab (e.g. "privacy-choices.html"), making it indistinguishable from an editor tab or built-in panel.

This is confusing when a preview server from a previous session is still visible — there's no context for why it's there or what it is.

Proposed Solution

Add a clear "Preview" label/header to the panel, similar to how "Terminal" and "Output" panels are labeled.

Alternative Solutions

_No response_

Priority

Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example

I told Claude "the preview panel with Privacy Choices is appearing on the right" and Claude couldn't understand what I meant — it asked me to clarify whether I meant an Xcode preview, an in-app screen, or a website. Because the Preview panel has no visible label or header, I had no way to describe it clearly. A simple "Preview" label would have let me say "the Preview panel" and be immediately understood.
