Summary of Changes
Hello @chrstnb, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request introduces a new, dedicated UI drawer within the IDE mode of the CLI application. This drawer allows users to quickly view their active and recently opened files, enhancing the overall user experience by providing immediate and easily accessible file context.
Highlights
- New IDE Context Drawer: A dedicated UI component (
IDEContextDetailDisplay) has been added to display details about active and recently opened files when the application is in IDE mode. This drawer provides a clear overview of the current file context. - Keyboard Shortcut for Context Toggle: Users can now toggle the visibility of the new IDE context drawer using the
Ctrl+Ekeyboard shortcut, providing quick access to file context information. - Updated Context Summary Display: The existing
ContextSummaryDisplayhas been updated to provide a more concise summary of open files, indicating the number of recent files and hinting at the newCtrl+Eshortcut for detailed context.

Code Review
This pull request introduces a new drawer component to display active and recent files from the IDE, which can be toggled with ctrl+e. The implementation is mostly solid, but I've identified a few issues. There's a logic error in the context summary display that could hide information about the active file from the user. Additionally, the new IDEContextDetailDisplay component has a condition that could lead to rendering an empty container, and it uses an index as a React key, which is an anti-pattern. My review includes suggestions to fix these issues.

LGTM overall , just 2 small comments
- please address /gemini review comments, they seem relevant
- in the summary, we show "6 recent files" but the detailed view shows 7 files (including the active files), can you account for this?

Approving to unblock BUT one thing to think about is how do you plan to represent additional context such as "errors" when we start absorbing those? I imagine there will be UX implications to consider where we may go from # VSCode files => # VSCode context or something of the like

TLDR
Add a separate drawer for IDE context invoked with ctrl+e
Dive Deeper
I'm not wed to this approach, but it looks weird if we add this under the /mcp command (which is invoked via ctrl+t). This will only show up when the user is in IDE mode.
I like that it's sticky so it will follow you and show the active context while you're working, but open to alternative approaches.
