feat(desktop): show only the tree in the Files pane until a file opens - #9175
Discord feedback on the new right pane area: the Files pane always reserved an empty "Select a file to view it here" column next to the tree, even with no file open, and closing a file closed the whole right area, tree included. Users want a pinned tree, with files shown only when needed.
What changed
Tree only:FilesTreePane renders just the tree. The placeholder and its string (all 17 catalogs) are removed.
Same pane: a file opened from the tree shows in the same pane, tree on the left, file on the right (FileViewLayout).
Close goes back to the tree: when a file pane is alone in its right-area tab, closing it (× or Close Pane) turns it back into the Files tree via the new returnFileToTree instead of closing the area. The unsaved-changes prompt runs first (moved into confirmFileClose); pinned files are unpinned first because replacePane skips pinned panes.
Width: while the active right tab is tree-only, the right area uses rightSidebarWidth (default 340px) instead of rightPaneAreaWidth.
FileViewTree moved up to usePaneRegistry/components/ (used by two components now).
Desktop dev build, driven over CDP: tree-only at 340px, then clicking a file opens it in the same pane, then × and Ctrl+Shift+W both return to tree-only at 340px, including for a pinned file.
bun test for returnFileToTree and openFileFromTree: 12 pass.
Any file alone in a right-area tab returns to the tree on close, including one opened with "Open in new tab". That can leave a second tree tab.
Not tested in the UI: the Save / Don't Save path for a dirty file. That prompt code is moved, not changed.
Summary by cubic
Makes the Files pane in the right area show only the tree until a file is opened, instead of always reserving an empty file-view column.
Opening a file from the tree shows it in the same pane, tree on the left, file on the right.
Closing a file that is alone in its right-area tab turns the pane back into the tree (with the unsaved-changes prompt first) instead of closing the whole right area. Pinned files are unpinned as part of this.
While the active right tab is tree-only, the right area uses the sidebar width (340px default) rather than the pane area width.
Removes the "Select a file to view it here" placeholder and its translations.
Moves FileViewTree into usePaneRegistry/components since two components now use it.
Note: Any file alone in a right-area tab returns to the tree on close, including files opened with "Open in new tab", which can leave a second tree tab. The dirty-file Save / Don't Save prompt was moved, not changed, and the Save / Don't Save path hasn't been tested in the UI.
Written for commit 41fbdea. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
File panes now work more seamlessly with the file tree, which can be collapsed and displayed alongside pane content.
Closing a file pane can return its file to the tree when it is the only pane in its tab.
Bug Fixes
Closing a modified file now prompts you to save, discard changes, or cancel. The pane stays open if you cancel or saving fails.
The Files pane reserved an empty "Select a file to view it here" column
even with no file open. Users asked for a pinned tree, with files shown
only when needed.
- The Files pane renders only the tree. The right area uses the sidebar
width while its active tab is tree-only.
- A file opened from the tree shows in the same pane, tree on the left.
- Closing a file that is alone in its right-area tab turns the pane back
into the tree (returnFileToTree) instead of closing the right area.
The unsaved-changes prompt still runs first; pinned files are unpinned.
- FileViewTree moves up to usePaneRegistry/components since two
components use it.

Walkthrough
The workspace file tree layout and sizing changed. File-pane closing now confirms dirty-document actions and can return an eligible solo file pane to a Files pane.

Summary
File-tree layout and sizing apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/hooks/usePaneRegistry/components/FileViewLayout/FileViewLayout.tsx, .../components/FileViewTree/FileViewTree.tsx, .../components/FilesTreePane/FilesTreePane.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/page.tsx, packages/i18n/locales/*/messages.po
The tree panel now precedes its content and uses visibility from the store. The tree pane renders FileViewTree directly. Tree-only right-pane tabs omit right-pane sizing props. The translated empty-state message was removed from locale catalogs.
File-close confirmation and return to tree apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/hooks/usePaneRegistry/usePaneRegistry.tsx, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/utils/returnFileToTree/*
Dirty files require a Save, Don’t Save, or Cancel choice before closing. Eligible solo file panes are replaced with Files panes; shared-tab file panes remain in place. Tests cover pinned, unpinned, and shared-tab cases.

Summary
The Files pane now shows only the tree until a file opens.
The right Files pane keeps its tree when no file is open.
Closing a lone file pane returns it to the Files tree.
Tree-only tabs use the right sidebar width.
Known and intentional: harshithmullapudi states that closing a file opened in another right-side tab can leave a second tree tab. This behavior was not reported as an issue.
Review checks were code-only; no tests or UI checks were run.

Keep the breadcrumb above the file content.
When the tree is visible, placing it first moves the content panel to the right. FileBreadcrumb remains positioned at left-2 relative to the outer layout. The breadcrumb therefore appears above the tree, leaving the file header without its navigation control. Position the breadcrumb relative to the content panel instead. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
