What's Wrong?

Plan: Pro
OS: Windows
Desktop app version: not yet checked (Help/About)
CLI version: not yet checked

The "Code" tab, previously visible in the Claude Desktop app, no longer
appears. Only "Chat" is visible in the app window. This started around
September 21, 2026 — I only noticed it missing the next day.

Steps already tried:

• Fully restarted the app (quit and reopen)
• Confirmed Pro plan is active

Expected: Code tab should be visible in the app, as it was before.
Actual: Only Chat tab appears.

What Should Happen?

The "Code" tab should be visible and usable, as it was before.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the Claude Desktop app on Windows.
2. Sign in with a Pro account.
3. Observe the main window: only the "Chat" tab appears.
4. The "Code" tab is not visible, even though it appeared before.
5. Restart the app completely (quit and reopen).
6. The "Code" tab is still missing.
