What's Wrong?
When splitting the chats in windows (dragging them out from the main windows), the command palette in the child windows still shows in the main window (in the sidebar)
<img width="1214" height="1027" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/15094887-bb12-4bc0-95c8-db079b5cae53" />
What Should Happen?
The command palette should show just above the input box like in the main window

Additional Information
Similarly, opening an image from a child window will show the image in the main window. This means all the actions that create an "overlay" create it only in the main window
