fix: Set expand=False on all Rich Panels to prevent full-width expansion

All Panel components in the codebase were expanding to fill the terminal
width instead of fitting their content. This fixes recurring issues with
overly wide panels in instance status, config validate, and launch commands.

Changes:
- instance.py: Fixed _build_status_table and launch panels
- config.py: Fixed validate command panel
- ami.py: Fixed launch command panel
- Added test for panel expand=False property

Fixes #43

 ## Acceptance Criteria
 
-- [ ] Audit all `Panel(` usage in codebase
-- [ ] Fix all panels to use `expand=False` or appropriate width
-- [ ] Verify `instance status` panel fits content
-- [ ] Verify no other panels are overly wide
-- [ ] Add tests to verify panel width behavior
-- [ ] Consider helper function for consistent Panel creation
