Description
Hello,
Currently, workspace-independent chats are only discoverable via the "New Chat" option on the Home Screen, which makes them hard to find and manage.
Acceptance criteria:
- Workspace-independent chats are listed in a dedicated section in the sidebar
- The section is positioned above the Workspaces section
- The section is positioned below the "Search" and "Scheduled" buttons
- Chats created via "New Chat" on the Home Screen are visible in this sidebar section
- Chats can be opened directly from the sidebar
This would significantly improve the discoverability and manageability of chats that don't belong to a workspace.
Thanks in advance for considering this request!
Best regards,
Joshua Krimmer

Research direction
Start by tracing the Home Screen's "New Chat" entry point and the sidebar components that render the "Search," "Scheduled," and "Workspaces" sections. Add a dedicated section for workspace-independent chats in the specified position, and verify that newly created chats appear there and open directly from the sidebar.
