My editor and browser font sizes are fine, but the cursor AI window is always using a much smaller font: how do we make that window the same-sized fonts as all the others?

Pasting the below into devtools makes it _look_ right, but breaks copy/paste highlighting and assorted other minor things - what’s the correct way?:

```javascript
const style = document.createElement('style');style.textContent = `* { font-size: 14px !important; } .monaco-editor .mtk1, .monaco-editor .line-numbers, .monaco-editor * { font-size: 14px !important; } .terminal-wrapper *, .xterm * { font-size: 14px !important; } .title-label, .settings-header, .view-line, .menu-item, .action-item, .sidebar *, .statusbar *, .tabs * { font-size: 14px !important; }`;document.head.appendChild(style);console.log("Font size override applied!")

```
