Description
Problem
The Expand button was previously a non-functional (dummy) button with no attached behavior. Users might expect it to enter fullscreen mode, but clicking it had no visible effect, which could lead to confusion or poor user experience.
Solution
Implemented fullscreen functionality using the Fullscreen API. Now, when the user clicks the Expand button, the app enters fullscreen mode. If already in fullscreen, clicking the button exits fullscreen. This improves usability by matching expected behavior.
Alternative
Alternative
An alternative approach could have been using a third-party library to manage fullscreen behavior, but it would have added unnecessary dependencies for such a small feature. The native Fullscreen API is lightweight, widely supported, and sufficient for this use case.

Research direction
Start by locating the Expand button in the editor UI and inspect its existing click behavior. Use the native Fullscreen API so clicking enters fullscreen and clicking again exits it; done when both toggle states work visibly without adding a dependency.
