Feature Request: “Ask in side chat” option missing

What variant of Codex are you using?
App
What feature would you like to see?
The “Ask in side chat” option no longer appears when I select text in the Codex app. I now only see “Add to chat” and “More details.”
This was a very useful feature when reading longer technical responses, because I could ask a quick question about a specific term or passage without interrupting or cluttering the main conversation.
I’m not sure whether this was intentionally removed or is a regression, but I’d really appreciate seeing it return.
Additional information
I am currently using Codex Version 26.803.41515
