Tabs and editor

You open files as tabs above the center editor, so you can move between them without closing your current draft. A tab badge can mark a pending edit, an unresolved agent comment, or a new file created by the agent. You work with plain text in the editor. You will see Markdown styling and media previews without losing the source text.
