Problem

Closing the right panel makes it look empty partway through. The closing edge wipes across the content from the left, so the file list is gone while the panel is still half open.

This came in with #26233, which pinned all of the panel's content to keep the tab bar out from under the title bar buttons. Only the tab bar needed that.

Change

Only the tab bar stays pinned now. Everything below it slides out with the panel again, as it did before #26233, and the tabs still stay clear of the buttons. Opening does the reverse. Maximized panels and the narrow-window sheet are unchanged.

Scope and approval

Small fix for an obvious visual regression from #26233: the panel goes blank while it closes.

Verification

• To reproduce: open the Files tab, set panel animations to 300ms and close the panel.
• Chromium on macOS at 1280×800 against the dev server: I froze the close at set points and measured it on main and on this branch. 23% of the way through, the panel edge is at 1036px. On main the content is still at 741px, so the edge has wiped over it. Here it's at 1037px, moving with the edge.
• The tab bar stays at 741px for the whole close on both, so the tabs never reach the buttons.
• Resizing, maximizing, restoring and the narrow-window sheet all keep the tab bar and content in the right place.
• vp test run apps/web/src/components/RightPanelTabs.test.tsx (10 passed); web typecheck and lint clean.
• Not checked: the Electron window, panel tabs other than Files, and running the narrow layout below 360px, where the content keeps main's right alignment.

Recording: a few opens and closes at regular speed, then one close and open zoomed in at quarter speed.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at e556eb9

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This changes the right panel’s closing animation so content slides while the tab bar stays pinned. The changes are presentation-only and retain existing sizing, clipping, and focus safeguards.

Walkthrough

The preview shell changes right alignment for collapsible panels at narrow widths. The right-panel tab bar is conditionally pinned to the panel’s top-right edge, sized from the resizable width, and paired with top-bar-height padding on the surface content.

Changes: Panel layout adjustments

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Preview shell layout apps/web/src/components/preview/PreviewPanelShell.tsx	For collapsible panels, the wrapper uses relative positioning and applies right alignment only at widths of 360px or less.
Conditional tab bar positioning apps/web/src/components/RightPanelTabs.tsx	When the panel is inline, open is defined, and the panel is not maximized, the tab bar is positioned at the top-right and sized to the resizable width minus 1px. The surface-content container receives top-bar-height padding in that state.

Very narrow inline layouts can hide right-side panel controls; this is a bounded visual issue.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the change accurately. The PR stops the right panel's content from disappearing during close. The author pinned only the tab bar, and the rest of the content slides with the panel. The title is short, follows the conventional commit format, and matches the main change in the summary and objectives.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, the change, scope and approval, and verification. The problem and change sections are clear. The scope section gives a short justification for a small visual regression fix and links the regression to #26233. The verification section gives reproduction steps, measured results, the test command, and what was not checked. It includes a before/after recording. Two items are missing from the template. The scope section does not link a triaged bug issue or a maintainer approval comment. The model and harness line is present. The template asks for a short justification when no prior issue exists, and the author gave one, so the gap is limited. The author should confirm that the 'very small, focused fix of an obvious bug' exemption applies, or link the triaged issue.

- Line 153: Update the collapsible wrapper in PreviewPanelShell so a narrow
inline host keeps the fixed-width content right-aligned and its right-edge
controls visible, without resizing the content during panel animation; preserve
the existing clipping behavior.
