Issue Description

Description of the issue

In our ERPNext (Frappe v16) instance hosted on Frappe Cloud, we are facing multiple issues related to Workspace management, UI behavior, and role-based access.

The "New Workspace" / "Add Workspace" button is not visible in the Workspace list (Build → Workspace).
Workspace creation is only possible via direct URL: /app/workspace/new-workspace
Role-based workspace visibility is not functioning as expected.
Sidebar is not restricting workspaces based on user roles.
Client Scripts and route-based scripts are not executing on Workspace/List pages.

Context information (for bug reports)

Site: cellerpv16.m.frappe.cloud Frappe Version: v16 ERPNext Version: v16 Hosting: Frappe Cloud

Permissions:

Tested with System Manager role
Create/Read/Write permissions enabled for Workspace

Steps to reproduce the issue

Go to Build → Workspace
Open Workspace List View
Observe that there is no "New" or "Add Workspace" button
Try to create workspace via UI → Not possible
Use direct URL /app/workspace/new-workspace → Works
Configure workspace roles and module profiles
Login with different role users

Observed result

"New Workspace" button is missing in UI
Workspace creation only possible via URL
Role-based workspace restriction is inconsistent
Sidebar shows irrelevant workspaces/modules
Client Scripts (frappe.router.on, frappe.ready) not working on Workspace pages

Expected result

"New Workspace" button should be visible in Workspace list
Workspace creation should be possible via UI
Role-based workspace visibility should work properly
Sidebar should only display allowed workspaces per role
Client Scripts should execute on Workspace/List pages (or documentation should clarify limitations)
