What's Wrong?

The session header in the Code tab no longer shows the session's working folder. Until a recent update there was a chip with the folder name at the top of each session, next to the title. Now the header shows only the title and the pane buttons.

I work with several sessions side by side in split view, each in a different project folder. Without the folder name I can't tell which project a session belongs to. The folder now appears only in the "Started on This computer · <folder>" line at the very top of the transcript, which scrolls out of view.

What Should Happen?

The folder (project) name is visible in the session header again, or there is a setting to show it.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open two Code sessions in different folders in split view.
  2. Look at the header of each pane: nothing shows which folder the session works in.

Is this a regression?

Yes, this worked in a previous version.
