What's Wrong?

Version: 1.7196.3 (ca0c62) OS: Windows Plan: Pro

After updating to version 1.7196.3, Cowork tab has completely disappeared from the menu. It was working yesterday and all morning, then disappeared after the update.

Expected: Cowork tab should appear between Chat and Code in the sidebar Actual: Cowork tab is completely missing from both app and web interface

This is a regression - Cowork was fully functional before this version.

What Should Happen?

Cowork tab should appear in the sidebar between Chat and Code tabs
