Scratchpad about marimo HOT 5 OPEN

Quick mockup (after making this I realized it may belong on the left side with the other tab options):

@PatrickCleary just wanted to say that I love the mockup!

Happy to help with the backend as needed.

@PatrickCleary

I think we can put this in the sidebar for now as a new helper panel. We can add a new endpoint for run_scratch_code which runs Python with the existing global variables but does not add itself to the dependency graph. The scratch doesn't need to be reactive either. It can return the console or visual outputs via the websocket infrastructure we have - we can add new ws messages.

Feel free to implement as much as you want - and then we can fill in the gaps.

I really like your version history with arrow up/down too - up to you if you want to implement that in the first iteration.

@PatrickCleary thanks for the feature request (and great design). this is something requested before. we can add this. is this something you would be interested in contributing or pairing on? if not, i am sure i can get to it at some point

I would take a crack at it! Would you be able to share some quick context on how you'd recommend approaching?

Started on this. Left one question on a draft PR and also if someone wanted to give it a quick glance to make sure I'm on the right track that would be great.
