Expose the existing recursive pane-size reset as a command-palette action, so it can be invoked outside of vim mode. The center pane grid's sizes can already be evened out by double-clicking a divider, or via vim::ResetPaneSizes (ctrl-w =) when vim mode is on, but there was no general action for it. The new workspace::ResetPaneSizes resets every axis in the center pane group to equal sizes, preserving the split layout. It reuses the same Workspace::reset_pane_sizes path the vim binding does. Docks and the terminal panel are left untouched (they have their own reset actions).

## Summary Exposes the existing recursive pane-size reset as a command-palette action, so it can be invoked outside of vim mode. The center pane grid's sizes can already be evened out by double-clicking a divider, or via `vim::ResetPaneSizes` (`ctrl-w =`) when vim mode is on, but there is no general action for it — so users not in vim mode have no discoverable way to undo a drifted split layout in one step. ## How it works `workspace::ResetPaneSizes` (palette: "workspace: reset pane sizes") calls the existing `Workspace::reset_pane_sizes`, which resets every `PaneAxis` in the center pane group to equal flexes, recursing into nested splits. The split structure is preserved — no panes are added, removed, or rearranged, only their sizes are equalized. This is the same path the vim `ctrl-w =` binding and the divider double-click already use. ## Out of scope - Docks (left/right/bottom panels) — they keep their existing `Reset Active Dock Size` / `Reset Open Docks Size` actions. - The terminal panel's internal splits — it is a separate panel, not part of the center pane group. - No default keybinding (palette-only); vim users keep `ctrl-w =`. ## Testing Added `test_reset_pane_sizes`: builds a nested split (a horizontal axis of three panes whose last child is a vertical split), skews every axis's flexes, dispatches the action, and asserts every axis returns to uniform sizes. Release Notes: - Added a `workspace: reset pane sizes` command that equalizes the sizes of all panes in the center group
