Research direction
Start in apps/desktop by locating the sidebar task list and the “Settled” section, then reproduce the layout with tasks listed. Adjust the relevant layout behavior so the section follows the upper list without a large blank gap and verify that more settled tasks remain visible in the desktop app.

Description
Before submitting
- I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
- I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.
Area
apps/desktop
Steps to reproduce
Open T3 Code with tasks listed in the sidebar.
Observe the space between the upper task list and the “Settled” section.
Expected behavior
The “Settled” section should follow the upper task list without a large empty gap, allowing more tasks to remain visible.
Actual behavior
A large blank area separates the upper task list from the “Settled” section. In the attached screenshot, this gap occupies roughly half the visible sidebar and pushes the settled tasks toward the bottom of the window.
