What happened to Solutions Workbench?

Cypher Workbench and Solutions Workbench are the same project. The project started off in 2020 and was named Cypher Workbench. A year or two later it got renamed to Solutions Workbench, but many people still referred to it as Cypher Workbench. For the labs release, we believe Cypher Workbench is a more appropriate name and have therefore switched the name back to Cypher Workbench.
