+ * ## The width limit
+ *
+ * A `Form.TextArea` cannot be made truly full-width from the extension API.
+ * Vicinae always renders it inside its `FormField` component
+ * (`ExtensionFormView.qml` → `textareaFieldComp`), and `FormField.qml` always
+ * lays out as three columns with proportional widths 2 / 5 / 2 — a label
+ * gutter, the editor, and an empty right spacer. That leaves roughly five
+ * ninths of the width for the editor, and the spacer stays even when there is
+ * no label. None of it is reachable from the extension side.
+ *
+ * So the only lever here is removing clutter, not reclaiming width. If Vicinae
+ * ever exposes a label-less or full-width field variant, this is the file to
+ * simplify further.
