Make the Full Breadcrumbs Path Always Visible

Explain the problem as you see it

The breadcrumbs bar only shows the node directly above the one I'm currently on. I can't see the entire path to the node I'm looking at, thus I lose context. I have 3-4 different areas of my tree for clients from different categories of work. IE:

Category 1 > Clients > Client Name
Category 2 > Clients > Client Name

When I'm in either Client Name node, I only get to see Clients to help reference where I am. I want to see the complete path of Category 1 > Clients > Client without having to click on anything.

That area of pixels is otherwise wasted at the top since there's much more room to the right for this important info to live.

In Workflowy, I get the complete path:

In Tana, it's a complete mystery where I am:
2023-04-29 at 11.17.17 - Tana - Tana -  Own the Day  [Curïo]@2x.png

Why is this a problem for you?

In Workflowy, I am constantly looking up at the Breadcrumbs bar to see where I am. It is extremely helpful. Not having this in Tana creates a ton of friction.

Suggest a solution

Always show the complete path of Breadcrumbs to where the node is in the graph. Keep the ability to click and go elsewhere and expand with the arrows as it currently works, just add more context in the otherwise wasted space at the top.
