Description
File diffs are undreadable if line length exceeds that tiny sliver of screen width that the app gracefully permits to use to display the content: there is no horizontal scroll, so I can't really see what's past the first 50-60 characters in each line (especially bad with markdown files where long lines are more or less expected as each one represents a paragraph).

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the /chat path using a file with markdown-style long lines on Windows 10.0.26200, then locate the diff viewer responsible for rendering the content. Done means text beyond the visible content width can be accessed, including through horizontal scrolling, and the behavior is verified against the reported layout.
