Describe the bug

Due to the change from #6376, now goose desktop bind the iframe width with the inner app width through ui/notifications/size-changed. However, ui/notifications/size-changed will only get triggered when there is not enough space in the app which cause the problem that once the app gets compressed it never grows back - see the screen recording.

P.S. I don't really know what would be the use case for the host to do something meaningful by using this size-change info from the app. Please enlighten me if anyone thinks of one. 😁


To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Resize the goose desktop to compress the mcp app
  2. Resize the goose desktop back to larger window width
  3. Mcp app remains its compressed width

Expected behavior
I think the app should utilize the full width of its container.
