Description

🌈 Feature

Embed option to hide file tree/explorer pane initially.

When this embed option is truthy, the leftmost pane with the file tree/dependencies/meta info about the sandbox should not be visible, regardless of screen size/embed size.

I'm using embeds where I only want the user to look at one file - the rest of the files aren't relevant. The file tree adds a lot of visual noise.

?hideexplorer=1 (or hideexplore, hidefiletree, depending on which name you feel is most appropriate)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by locating how embed query options are parsed and where the file tree/explorer pane is rendered; done means a truthy hide-explorer option keeps that pane hidden at every screen and embed size.
