Bug Report: Atlas native ChatGPT suggests side-chat controls that are unavailable
`Steps to Reproduce`
  1. Open ChatGPT Atlas on macOS.
  2. Use the native Atlas ChatGPT/new-tab experience, not chatgpt.com opened as a normal website.
  3. Ask ChatGPT to inspect or reference another open tab/page.
  4. Observe that ChatGPT suggests opening or using a side chat/sidebar to inspect the page.
  5. Look for the Ask Chat / side-chat control in the native Atlas ChatGPT tab.
  6. Compare this with opening chatgpt.com as a normal website inside Atlas, where the Ask Chat / side-chat style control is visible.
`Expected Result`

Atlas should clearly distinguish between native ChatGPT/new-tab mode, chatgpt.com web-app mode, Ask Chat / side-chat mode, and Agent mode.

If native Atlas ChatGPT cannot inspect another tab or page directly, it should not suggest an unavailable side-chat control. It should instead clearly tell the user which action is required: use Ask Chat from the target page, attach/paste the content, open chatgpt.com in a normal tab, or use Agent mode.

`Actual Result`

In native Atlas ChatGPT/new-tab mode, ChatGPT suggested using a side chat/sidebar to inspect another tab or page, but that side-chat control was not available from the native ChatGPT tab.

This created confusion because Atlas has multiple ChatGPT surfaces that look related but behave differently. A normal webpage in Atlas can show the Ask Chat / side-chat control, while the native Atlas ChatGPT tab does not expose the same control.

The user had to open chatgpt.com as a normal website inside Atl

`Environment`

ChatGPT Atlas on macOS; ChatGPT Pro; native Atlas ChatGPT/new-tab mode; chatgpt.com opened inside Atlas; Ask Chat / side-chat UI; normal webpage tab testing.
