Pull request overview
This PR refines the chat input UX in the workbench chat widget by increasing non-compact input padding (resulting in a taller input area) and aligning the Agent mode’s placeholder/description copy across UI surfaces and tests.
Changes:
- Increased non-compact chat input editor padding (8px → 12px top/bottom) and updated the corresponding min-height calculation.
- Updated Agent mode description text (“Describe what to build next” → “Describe what to build”) and aligned the title bar hover label copy.
- Updated hover-provider test expectations to match the new Agent description.
