What was wrong
The built-in sidebar could start only one new-thread composer. Creating a two-pane drafting workspace required a drag split, new-thread submission had no pane-local replacement path, and draft rows could not reopen their saved slot in a split. That left the primary creation control, per-pane draft lifecycle, and split workspace behavior disconnected.
What changed
Columns2Split action to the sidebar's New thread row. It appears on hover/focus, stays keyboard reachable, is absent on compact viewports, and replaces the current workspace with exactly two fresh blank panes focused on the left.thread.splitas a Threads command for the command palette and Keyboard settings, with no default keybinding.@get-bb/plugin-sdkto 0.4.23 because the published command-id union now includesthread.split; 0.4.23 is the next version not already present on npm.How you verified
