FEAT: add Plan tab to right panel picker

[sgottschlich]

Summary

• Add a "Plan" entry to the right panel's empty-state card grid and the "+" add-surface menu, alongside Diff/Browser/Files/Terminal/Agents.
• Wires a new onAddPlan handler through ChatView.tsx that opens the existing plan right-panel surface (PlanSidebar.tsx) for the active thread.
• Previously the plan/task panel only appeared automatically when plan steps arrived, with no manual way to open it as a tab.

Test plan

• pnpm --filter web typecheck
• Manually open a thread, open the right panel with no surfaces active, confirm the "Plan" card appears and opens the plan/task panel
• Confirm "Plan" appears in the "+" add-surface menu when other tabs are already open

Note

Low Risk
Small UI wiring to an existing right-panel surface with no auth, data, or API changes.

Overview
Users can now open the plan/tasks panel on demand from the right panel, instead of relying only on auto-open when plan steps arrive.

ChatView adds addPlanSurface, which calls useRightPanelStore.open(activeThreadRef, "plan")—the same surface used by existing plan sidebar toggles and auto-open logic. That handler is passed as onAddPlan to both desktop and sheet RightPanelTabs.

RightPanelTabs exposes Plan in the empty-state “Open a surface” grid and in the + add-surface menu (with ClipboardList icon), matching Browser, Terminal, Files, Diff, and Agents.

Note

Add 'Plan' tab to the right panel picker and empty state

Adds a 'Plan' entry (with ClipboardList icon) to both the Add Surface menu in RightPanelTabs and the right panel empty state. A new onAddPlan callback is wired from ChatViewContent down to RightPanelTabs and RightPanelEmptyState, opening the plan surface for the active thread when clicked.

Plan picker skips dismissal clear

Medium Severity

The addPlanSurface function opens the plan panel but doesn't call clearPlanSidebarDismissal. If the plan was previously dismissed, manually opening it from the empty state or "+" menu won't clear the dismissal flag, which can prevent the panel from auto-opening for new plan steps later in the turn.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs human review

This PR adds a Plan tab to the right panel picker. An unresolved review comment identifies a potential bug: the new addPlanSurface function doesn't clear the dismissal flag, which could prevent auto-opening behavior. This substantive issue warrants human review.
