What's Wrong?
"Add folder" button in Cowork Project is permanently greyed out
and cannot be clicked at all on Windows.
Note: Unable to use the in-app "Get Help" support channel
(ERR_TIMED_OUT on api-iam.intercom.io — likely a regional
network issue in Vietnam), hence reporting via GitHub.
What Should Happen?
The "Add folder" button appears disabled (greyed out) in Cowork Projects.
No dialog opens when attempting to click it. Tried restarting both the app
and the machine — issue persists. The button is unresponsive before any
folder selection, so this is not related to folder location (C:\ vs D:\).
