Description

I find inline diffs hard to read and I have plenty of horizontal space on my wide screen monitor. Side-by-side diffs would be much more helpful here (with line wraps!).

Research direction

Start at the /chat entry point and locate where copilot session diffs are rendered. Implement a side-by-side presentation for wide screens with line wrapping, then verify that diffs in copilot sessions display in the requested layout.
