Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
Currently, the workspace URL may change with a restart if it ends up in a different workspace cluster. This is particularly problematic for desktop IDE and SSH users. (https://github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod/issues/11355)
Describe the behaviour you'd like
Workspace URL and SSH URL should be static. From gitpodio-website-25tzkerndba[.ssh].ws-eu54.gitpod.io to gitpodio-website-25tzkerndba[.ssh].ws.gitpod.io.

Research direction
Start by tracing how workspace and SSH URLs are generated and how workspace clusters are selected during restart. Compare the current cluster-specific URLs with the requested stable URLs, then identify the affected behavior and verify that URLs remain unchanged after a workspace moves between clusters.
