Problem Statement
Add visual distinction between Chat Projects and Cowork Projects in sidebar
Description:
The sidebar lists Chat Projects and Cowork Projects under the same "Projects" section with identical visual appearance. There is no label, icon, badge, or section separator to distinguish them.
Current behavior:
Both project types appear identically in the list. The only way to determine the type is to open the project.
Problem this causes:
When a Chat Project and a Cowork Project share the same name (which happens naturally when users mirror their Chat project structure in Cowork), it is impossible to tell them apart from the list view.
Requested behavior:
A small visual indicator on each project entry showing its type — for example a label ("Chat" / "Cowork"), a distinct icon, or a section separator in the sidebar.

Proposed Solution
