Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the behavior on Positron 2025.03.0 on Windows with the workbench.editor.editorActionsLocation setting, then trace the editor actions location handling in the workbench UI. Done means the setting reliably places editor actions in the title bar again.
