Description
Collapsible panels allow users to hide information and reduce distraction. Collapsed panels (smaller shapes) are also easier to reorder with drag and drop.
- Implement with a chevron/arrow on the far left (keeps the action intuitive by following the VS Code standard).
- Keep the ‘X’ for deleting the panel visible even when the panel is collapsed.
- Panels can be reordered by dragging and dropping even when collapsed.
Prerequisite: Make panel titles horizontal #154.

Research direction
Start by reviewing prerequisite issue #154, then locate the panel entry point and the existing drag-and-drop behavior. Implement the chevron toggle, preserve the delete control when collapsed, and ensure collapsed panels remain draggable; done means all three behaviors work as shown in the linked reference image.
