Describe the solution you'd like?
I want there to be a feature where whenever you have a tab whose name is bigger than the default size of the tabs, the tab should resize its horizontal length to accomodate the long name.
Example: "emerge: (199 of 294) sys-devel/clang" is too long to see normally and it is cutoff to look approximately like "-merge: (199 of 294) sys-devel/cl-"
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I cannot see what package portage is working on because the name of the package exceeds the size limit, which is useful when debugging should portage fail to emerge a package correctly.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue, so first locate the tab rendering and sizing implementation in the Warp codebase. Confirm how long package names are currently truncated, then implement adaptive horizontal sizing and verify that long names such as the provided Portage example remain readable without breaking the tab layout.
