What's Wrong?

After updating the Claude Code desktop app this morning (Windows 11; update
required a restart), the "Recents" group that used to appear at the top of the
project list in the CODE tab is gone.
The HOME tab still shows its "Recents" list normally — so this is specific to
the Code tab. In the Code tab, the list now only shows projects grouped by
folder (BFE-Finder, Bridge Design Tool, CATT, ...), with no Recents section at
the top. To reach a recently-used project I now have to scroll through the
alphabetical folder groups.
Yesterday (before the update) the Code tab had a "Recents" group pinned at the
top listing my most-recently-used projects/sessions. It disappeared after the
update.

What Should Happen?

The Code tab should show the "Recents" group at the top of the project list,
as it did before the update, so recently-used projects are reachable without
scrolling the full folder list.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Claude Code desktop app
2. Go to the Code tab
3. Observe the project list — no "Recents" group appears at the top

(Compare: the Home tab still shows a Recents list)
