feat(web): allow resizing the file explorer#25242

apps/web/src/components/files/FileExplorerPane.tsx:45-55 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear the drag session when the splitter unmounts.

FileExplorerPane stays mounted when resizable changes from true to false, so useResizeDrag keeps its active session. If that change happens during a drag, the splitter unmounts while it holds pointer capture. The hook never receives the matching pointer-up or cancel event, so the body cursor and user-select styles stay set. The session also keeps drag.current set, so later presses on the restored splitter return early. The session ends only on window blur, hook unmount, or a storageKey change. Because the hook's reset key tracks only storageKey, the resizable transition does not clean up the session.

A trigger exists in the inspected code. The explorer can show a chat-linked folder as a file until its read settles, and resizable then becomes false. A user can press the splitter during that pending read.

The fix is to include the enabled state in the drag reset key. A reset cancels the session and restores the committed width. The exact useResizeDrag reset behavior is inferred from the inspected hook source. The current drag session holds only the previewed width, and cancelling it leaves persisted state unchanged.
