Description

When you active live-by-plugin, it will close all other windows except python buffer window and leaves only the two windows.

Please don't close other windows, just split the current python buffer window into two windows (python buffer window and live-by-plugin side-by-side).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the plugin's Emacs integration code to locate where it activates live by plugin and manipulates Emacs windows. Understand why it closes other windows and plan a fix that only splits the current Python buffer window.
