Research direction
Start by locating the Windows Terminal tab row and title-bar layout entry points referenced by the issue's UI terminology. Compare the current title-bar height with the requested one-third or two-fifths reduction, then identify the relevant UI tests or validation path. Done means the tab row/title bar height is user-adjustable or reduced as specified without disrupting the terminal layout.
