 - Improved plugin management for configuration plugins so that hot reload detects when a provider or chat template has been removed.
 - Changed the configuration plugin setting name for how often to check for updates from `UpdateBehavior` to `UpdateInterval`.
 - Fixed a bug in various assistants where some text fields were not reset when resetting.
+- Fixed a rare chat-related bug that could occur when a workspace was not created correctly. Thank you, Naomi, for reporting this issue.
