On the macOS desktop app (macOS 26.5), the header control with tooltip "Toggle pinned summary" (next to the "Open in" menu and the right-panel toggle) appears in some sessions but not in others.

Expected: every session shows both "Open in" and the pinned-summary toggle.

Observed: sessions in the same workspace differ — some have the toggle, some do not, with no obvious correlation to session type (new vs resumed, local vs worktree).

Versions: at least 2.1.218 is in the mix; long-lived sessions may be running an older runtime than freshly opened ones via auto-update, but the inconsistency has not been confirmed to track version.

If this control is deliberately gated (by version, by whether a session summary exists yet, or by rollout flag), it would help to have that documented — and ideally surfaced consistently across sessions of one app instance.
