Diff view for proposed edits doesn't respect diffEditor.renderSideBySide setting

When Claude Code proposes a file edit in VS Code, the diff preview always renders as side-by-side (old on left, new on right), even when diffEditor.renderSideBySide is set to false in VS Code settings and after reloading the window.
It seems the extension's edit-approval diff view uses its own rendering rather than VS Code's standard diff editor widget (or does not respect this user setting).
Request: allow the diff preview layout (side-by-side vs. inline/unified) to follow the user's diffEditor.renderSideBySide setting, or expose a dedicated claudeCode.* setting for it.
