Description
Horizontal text is the fastest and most comfortable to read (compared to vertical, diagonal, etc.)
Position the ‘X’ for deleting the chart at the far right (keeps deletion intuitive by following the standard for horizontal windows in VS Code).

Other benefits:
* Horizontal titles can structure the layout by doubling as visual dividers between each panel. For example, when scanning quickly, it's difficult to see that there are two separate checklists instead of just one:

* Horizontal orientation leaves room for longer titles
Quick test you can try on yourself to show that horizontal text is significantly faster to read ([Article](https://jov.arvojournals.org/article.aspx?articleid=2121153)).

Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Locate the TypeScript frontend code that renders panel titles and the chart deletion control, then compare it with the screenshots and confirm that titles are horizontal, the delete “X” is at the far right, and separate panels are visually distinguishable.
