What's Wrong?

When using the expand/pop-out window feature for a plan in Claude Code on the macOS app, the text content doesn't expand to fill the width of the window — either when the window is popped out into its own window, or when maximised within the app. This leaves a large empty margin on the right-hand side regardless of window size.

This looks like the same underlying issue as #62543 ("Plan side panel: content stops expanding at a fixed width — large wasted empty margins on wider panel"), which was closed as not-planned. Re-raising here specifically for the pop-out/maximised-window case, since it's a plain, deterministic repro and the wasted space seems unintentional rather than a deliberate design choice — flagging in case it's worth reconsidering, especially alongside the still-open #57749 covering the related "narrow centered column" behaviour.

What Should Happen?

The plan text should reflow and expand to use the available window width.
