## 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
`74cb560c41` 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`

## 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.
