Implemented on branch 0.3.4/issue-139-no-last-workbench (pushed): the persisted session-state payload no longer records the active workbench, and MainWindow._restore_session_state() always activates the grid workbench on launch regardless of what was open at last close (including stale workbench values from older session-state DBs). Other session-state fields (window geometry, sort order, tag/search filters) are unaffected.

Added/updated tests in tests/test_pr13_config.py:

test_main_window_restore_always_defaults_to_grid_workbench
test_main_window_persist_session_state_omits_workbench

Full suite (630 passed, 1 skipped) and ruff check/ruff format --check are clean. Awaiting a PR request to merge to main.
