Description:
Since HA 2024.10+, Developer Tools (/developer-tools) is no longer visible in the sidebar. This significantly reduces usability for developers and power users who rely on it daily (e.g. for testing automations, checking states, services, etc.).
Please restore it as a default sidebar item — or provide a built-in toggle to show it (like in older versions).
Current workaround requires custom integrations (e.g. custom-sidebar) or direct URL — not acceptable for standard UX.
Version: 2026.2.1 (Home Assistant OS)
