[Feature request]: Allow maximizing the AI Chat panel #2389

Description

@hsteinme

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The AI Chat panel in the script editor is quite narrow, especially when displaying longer answers or larger code blocks. The panel can be resized horizontally, but only up to a limited width. This makes reading and working with larger AI responses somewhat cumbersome.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be helpful to have a button to temporarily maximize the AI Chat panel so that it uses the complete editor area. Clicking the button again should restore the normal split view with the script editor and AI Chat side by side.

Describe alternatives you've considered
An alternative would be the option to open the AI Chat in a separate browser tab or window.
Using browser zoom or resizing the existing panel helps to some extent, but does not provide enough space for larger responses

Additional context
This is particularly useful for the Explain, Refactor and Tests functions, as their responses can contain larger explanations and code blocks.
The current resizable panel is useful for short interactions, so the proposed maximized view would ideally be an additional temporary option rather than replacing the existing layout.
