A code diff hints the 'design' slash command may have been removed, but this is uncertain

What

A piece of code that defined a design slash-command (described as "Grant or revoke Claude agent access to your Design projects") appears to have been replaced by unrelated internal code in the same part of the program. It's not clear whether this means the design command was actually removed, or whether this is just an artifact of how the code was reorganized.

Why

If you used the design command to manage Claude's access to Design projects, it's worth checking whether it still works, since the evidence doesn't confirm one way or the other.
