What's Wrong?

The Claude Code panel in the VS Code sidebar does not respond to sidebar width changes when the user drags the sidebar edge to resize it.
Instead of reflowing to fit the new width, the panel stays at a fixed (often very small) size and does not scale with the container.

What Should Happen?

The Claude Code panel should reflow and scale responsively to match the new sidebar width.
