fix(ui): improve routine properties panel and history UX (#5703)

## 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

### Screenshots

#### Trigger Panel Width

/> |

#### 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.

/> |

#### 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.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent in Codex Desktop, tool-enabled with
local shell, git, and in-app browser automation. Context window size was
not exposed in this session.
