Worked: n/a

Short description of error
If you re-load (via Revert or opening it again) blend file in the same Blender instance node tools operators are missing in the menu.

This happens if there's a node tool that is marked as asset and given a category in the asset library. This does not happen if the file only has non-asset and uncategorized node tools.

The node tools operators re-appear if you do certain actions (clicking other categories in asset browser, creating a new geometry nodes).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

From scratch

Add a node tool. Mark it asset. In the asset browser give it a category
See if the operator is in the menu
Save the blend file
Revert or opening it again

With test file

node_tools_missing.blend
blender_assets.cats.txt

Download both and put it in the same folder
Open blend file. See if the operator is in the menu
Revert or opening it again
The operator is missing in the menu
