描述
### Feature summary
Add flexible, non-code-oriented docking and layout options, especially for canvases.
### What problem are you trying to solve?
Canvases currently open in a fixed right-side panel. That works for narrow companion content, but it constrains canvases designed as intelligent dashboards, process cockpits, and process-augmentation screens. These experiences often need horizontal space, persistent visibility, or a layout that complements rather than compresses the main focus area.
The GitHub App is increasingly useful for workflows beyond a traditional code-and-chat arrangement, but its docking model remains optimized primarily for code-centric side panels.
### Proposed solution
Allow users to place canvases and other non-code surfaces in more flexible layouts, including:
- Above or below the main focus area
- Left or right side
- Full-screen
- Detachable or separate-window mode
Placement should be selectable per canvas and remembered across sessions. Resizable split layouts would make the feature especially useful.
### Workflow impact
This would unlock richer process-oriented experiences inside the GitHub App: operational dashboards, planning cockpits, backlog and release-management views, review surfaces, and other agent-augmented workflows. It would let canvas authors design for the task instead of designing around one fixed panel shape.
### Installation context
GitHub Copilot desktop app on Windows.
### Additional context
The key request is not merely moving the existing panel. It is treating canvases as first-class workspace surfaces whose layout can match their purpose, particularly for non-code workflows.
