What's Wrong?

Some users at our company have closed the code bar that shows the branches etc just above the reply entry - there appears to be no way to get it back.

What Should Happen?

The toolbar should be non-closable (for some users at our company it is not, for others it is); and if it is, make there an easy way to get it back (there appears to be no way to show it again after it is closed).. Maybe a button near where you set the mode (there is lots of room there)?

Steps to Reproduce

Some people see this (it is not possible to close - how it should be):
<img width="503" height="185" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0d31c589-7038-4619-9c01-085d3bbccc18" />
Others see this:
<img width="606" height="173" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/864b4bd8-04e8-4095-a8f7-8254b5a8ce8c" />

Some people with the 2nd toolbar have closed it - and if you do there is no way to get it back..
