Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Close Positron completely and then open it.
- Observe the Viewer Pane - it doesn't have a URL/location section:
In order to display the URL bar, I have to do something like Quarto > Preview. After that the URL bar can be modified
What did you expect to happen?
I expected the URL to always be present so I can set it to other arbitrary localhost applications.
Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?

Research direction
Start with the Viewer Pane behavior after a fresh Positron launch, then compare it with the state reached through Quarto > Preview. Trace why the URL/location section is initially absent and confirm that the URL is visible and editable immediately after launch, including for arbitrary localhost applications.
