Description
Occasionally I want to browse directories without the intention of moving files around. I use a tiling window manager and having both panes of the file manager takes up space.
It would be great to be able to start fman like: fman --single-pane to omit the second pane from the UI.

Research direction
Start at fman's command-line entry point and trace how the two-pane UI is created; the issue names no source files or tests. Check the existing CLI options and pane-layout behavior first, then verify that fman --single-pane starts with one pane while normal startup remains unchanged.
