## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through visible, governable task
and routine workflows.
> - The routines UI includes the routine detail page, properties panel,
history tab, and shared sidebar components.
> - PR #5703 changed that workflow by widening the routine properties
panel and moving revision inspection/comparison into dialogs.
> - The product direction for that change is being paused for now, so
the safest path is a direct revert instead of partial edits.
> - This pull request reverts merge commit
`74cb560c41305ac3283067d1ec8d3060ffdc28cb` from #5703.
> - The benefit is restoring the prior routines UI behavior while
keeping the revert easy to review and re-apply later if needed.
## What Changed
- Reverted #5703: `fix(ui): improve routine properties panel and history
UX`.
- Restored the previous routine properties panel sizing, panel context
API, routine detail layout, and routine history rendering behavior.
- Removed the reverted sidebar pane test additions and restored the
previous focused routine history test expectations.
## Verification
- `git diff --check origin/master..HEAD`
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/RoutineHistoryTab.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
### Screenshots

## Risks
- Low technical risk: this is a clean Git revert of a recently merged
UI-only PR.
- Product risk: the routine properties panel and revision history return
to the older, narrower workflow that #5703 was improving.
- Re-application risk: future work that wants the #5703 behavior back
should re-apply it deliberately rather than cherry-picking around this
revert.

## Thinking Path
> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Routines are the recurring-work surface where operators configure
schedules, executions, activity, and revision history.
> - The routine detail view uses a contextual right properties panel for
triggers, runs, activity, and history.
> - That panel was too cramped for routine workflows: the routine header
could collapse at constrained widths, and revision previews/comparisons
were trying to live inside the same narrow panel.
> - This pull request makes the routine properties panel wider and
responsive without changing the default panel behavior for other pages.
> - It also moves routine revision viewing and comparison into focused
dialogs so history stays usable instead of rendering dense revision
content inside the right panel.
> - The benefit is a cleaner routine workflow: triggers remain
scannable, the main routine stays readable, and revisions can be
inspected, compared, and restored without fighting the sidebar width.
## What Changed
- Added optional per-panel layout options for storage key, default
width, min/max width, and compact viewport behavior.
- Set the routine properties panel to use its own 400px default width
and persistence key, while compacting to 320px on narrower viewports.
- Made the shared resizable sidebar support right-side panes, custom
width bounds, compact max width, and keyboard resizing.
- Fixed the routine detail header so title text and action controls
remain readable beside the properties panel at constrained widths.
- Reworked routine history so selecting a revision opens a read-only
snapshot dialog instead of trying to render the whole revision inside
the right panel.
- Added a side-by-side current-vs-selected revision comparison dialog
with clearer diff markers for structured fields, triggers, and
variables.
- Added focused tests for the resizable pane and routine history
behavior.
## Verification
- `pnpm vitest run ui/src/components/RoutineHistoryTab.test.tsx
ui/src/components/ResizableSidebarPane.test.tsx`
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui typecheck`
- `pnpm -r typecheck`
- `git diff --check`
- Browser E2E in TestCo at `http://localhost:3100/TES/dashboard`:
- created and edited a routine
- added, edited, toggled, and deleted schedule triggers
- paused automation
- ran the routine and stopped the live run
- verified runs, activity, history, snapshot dialog, compare mode,
restore confirmation, routine list, recent runs, row actions, panel
close/reopen, and constrained-width layout

/> |
#### History Panel
Before, selecting a revision attempted to show dense revision content
inside the already narrow right panel. After, history remains a compact
list and revision details open separately.

src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4c139238-8494-4438-89e1-4277d05bc3aa"

#### Revision Snapshot
The selected revision now opens in a dedicated read-only dialog instead
of crowding the properties panel.

/>
#### Revision Compare
Historical revisions can be compared side-by-side with the current
revision, including changed structured fields and trigger differences.

/>
## Risks
- Low to moderate UI risk: the shared resizable pane API gained optional
layout parameters, but existing callers keep the previous defaults.
- Routine history now uses dialogs for revision viewing and comparison,
so reviewers should confirm the new workflow feels right for restore and
compare.
- Routine panel width now persists under a routine-specific key, so
previous global properties panel width preferences do not carry into
routines.
