Desktop app: bring back the startup welcome screen (account name / model / billing info)

Title: Desktop app: bring back the startup welcome screen (account name / model / billing info)

Description

In earlier versions of the Claude Code desktop app (e.g. v2.1.6), starting a new session showed a bordered "welcome" panel at the top of the window:

• "Welcome back {account name}!"
• A "Tips for getting started" / "Recent activity" panel
• A line showing model, plan/billing, and account context (e.g. Sonnet 4.5 · API Usage Billing · Why Try AI)

As of v2.1.233, the startup screen has been reduced to three plain lines with no border:

Claude Code v2.1.233
Sonnet 5 · Claude Pro
~\Desktop

The account/identity info ("Welcome back {name}") is gone entirely.

Why this matters

I run several separate Claude Code sessions/shortcuts under different accounts (different Google/work accounts for different parts of my business). With the old welcome screen, I could immediately confirm which account a given window was signed into just by glancing at the top of the terminal. With the new compact header, there's no way to tell which account is active without digging into settings — so it's easy to run a task under the wrong account.

Request

Please either:

1. Restore the welcome panel (or at least the account-name line) at session start, or
2. Add the signed-in account name to the compact header that replaced it, so it's visible at a glance without extra clicks.
