Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

At the moment, the name of a workspace is only visible in the dashboard. You can't see it in the editor view, nor the "workspace timed out" page.

Describe the behaviour you'd like

I'd like for the workspace name be at the top of the editor view (possibly in the "title" of the HTML doc header as well), and in the "workspace timed out" page.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Research direction

Start by locating the editor view and the "workspace timed out" page in the TypeScript application, then trace how each receives workspace metadata from the dashboard or backend. Confirm the intended placement for the workspace name, including whether it belongs in the HTML document title. Done means both views display the workspace name consistently, with relevant tests updated or added.
