Description
### Before filing
- [x] I searched [open and closed issues](https://github.com/block/berd/issues?q=is%3Aissue) for duplicates.
- [x] I am using a recent [release](https://github.com/block/berd/releases) and this doesn't already exist.
- [x] This is one request, not several bundled together.
### Is this new, or an improvement?
Improvement — Berd does this, but badly
### The problem, in your terms
Currently the right side Files tray only lists the files. On click it takes to VS Code. Inbuilt viewer makes the berd a perfect tool for developers.
### What you do today
Either open the file using Terminal OR VS code
### What you'd like to see
Builtin viewer
### Why this belongs in Berd itself
This is a feature to be built.
### Non-goals
NA
### Alternatives you considered
_No response_
### Mockups, prior art, or other context

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Files tray and its current click-to-VS Code flow, then define the supported built-in viewer scope and acceptance checks for viewing files within Berd.
