 - [x] buffer ux improvement: add toggleable word wrap (no keybinding by default).
 - [x] add panes/splits: split current pane above/below (`_`) or left/right (`|`) in Normal mode; navigate panes with Option/Alt+h/j/k/l.
     - shared split layout and directional focus with diff views; independent pane views, shared buffers, and guarded close/force-close actions.
-- [ ] remove diff viewer's file explorer's `A added M modified...` explanation - it's standard and the explanation doesn't fit in the pane, so it can go.
+- [x] remove diff viewer's file explorer's `A added M modified...` explanation - it's standard and the explanation doesn't fit in the pane, so it can go.
 - [ ] add tabs: tab support, editor action to open a buffer in a new tab, default tab navigation is `ctrl+option+h/l`, close tab action.
 - [ ] diff view: add character-wise change highlight (enabled by default).
 - [ ] diff view: lsp actions should act as they normally would. if an lsp action would open another file, then the file should be opened in another tab outside the diff view - if the referenced file/symbol is part of the changes in the diff, it should just be opened in the diff view.
