feat: resize a carved dock against the app's view #176
Description
What
A side area carved for a dock cannot be resized against the rest of the window. Apps whose main view is not a blit window (cellar's world view) fix their docks' widths (octalide/cellar#154).
Acceptance
- Either a splitter on a carved area's inner edge, or a dock space with a central node that passes input and drawing through to the app, so side docks resize against the app's view
- The resulting sizes persist with the dock layout

Resolved by #168 (PR #169, merged into dev), which delivers this issue's second option:
dock.central(ctx, space)makes a passthrough central node. It keeps its area while empty, paints no background, and lets input and drawing reach the app's own claim beneath the space, so side docks carved around it resize against the app's view through the ordinary splitters.dock.central_area(ctx, space)reports the rect to draw the app's view into. The sizes persist with the layout:persistsaves each node's splitratioand, since #169, the space'scentralnode. The testspace__central_node_lets_the_app_beneath_show_throughcovers the pass-through, the splitter taking the pointer, and the centre surviving undocks.refactor(#158): dock the panels around the world's central node
