`[Bug]: Signing in to Comfy account hides existing local instance and shows "Instance 0" (Windows, Desktop 1.0.47)`

## App Version

* **Comfy Desktop:** 1.0.47
* **OS:** Windows 11
* **Installation type:** Local standalone ComfyUI installation managed by Comfy Desktop
* **ComfyUI version:** `v0.35.0+1`
* **Account state:** Reproducible only when signed in to a Comfy account

## Expected Behavior

After signing in to a Comfy account, the existing local ComfyUI installation should remain visible and selectable in the Comfy Desktop instance selector.

The existing local instance should not disappear from the Dashboard simply because the user signs in.

Expected:

```text
Comfy Desktop
└── Comfy-daohegu
```

## Actual Behavior

When I am **not signed in**, Comfy Desktop correctly shows my existing local instance:

```text
Comfy-daohegu
GitHub latest · v0.35.0+1
```

After I **sign in to my Comfy account**, the main Dashboard changes to:

```text
Instance 0
```

The existing local instance is no longer shown.

If I then **sign out**, the existing instance immediately reappears:

```text
Comfy-daohegu
GitHub latest · v0.35.0+1
```

Therefore the local instance itself is still present and functional; the problem appears to be specifically related to the signed-in Dashboard / instance picker.

## Steps to Reproduce

1. Install/use Comfy Desktop 1.0.47 on Windows 11.
2. Have an existing local standalone instance managed by Desktop.
3. In this case, the existing instance is named `Comfy-daohegu`.
4. Start Comfy Desktop while signed out.
5. Confirm that `Comfy-daohegu` is visible in the instance selector.
6. Sign in to a Comfy account.
7. Return to the main Dashboard.
8. The Dashboard now shows `Instance 0` and the existing local instance is no longer displayed.
9. Select **Add Existing Instance** and point it to the existing installation directory.
10. Desktop reports:

```text
That directory is already used by "Comfy-daohegu".
```

11. Sign out of the Comfy account.
12. The `Comfy-daohegu` instance immediately becomes visible again.

### Reproduction result

This behavior is reproducible:

```text
SIGNED OUT
↓
Comfy-daohegu visible ✅
↓
SIGN IN
↓
Instance 0 ❌
↓
SIGN OUT
↓
Comfy-daohegu visible again ✅
```

## Diagnostics

The local instance registration is still present in:

```text
%APPDATA%\Comfy Desktop\installations.json
```

The registered entry contains:

```json
{
"id": "inst-1788440139228",
"name": "Comfy-daohegu",
"sourceId": "standalone",
"status": "installed",
"seen": false,
"installPath": "D:\\AI\\Comfy-Desktop\\ComfyUI-Installs\\Comfy-daohegu"
}
```

The installation directory exists:

```text
D:\AI\Comfy-Desktop\ComfyUI-Installs\Comfy-daohegu
```

The ComfyUI directory contains the expected installation structure, including:

```text
ComfyUI\
├── .git
├── .venv
├── custom_nodes
├── models
├── input
├── output
├── user
├── main.py
└── ...
```

The Desktop tracking marker is also present:

```text
D:\AI\Comfy-Desktop\ComfyUI-Installs\Comfy-daohegu\.comfyui-desktop-2
```

Its contents are:

```text
tracked
```

The installation metadata also contains 107 snapshots and a recent rollback record, indicating that Desktop still has substantial metadata for this installation.

`installations.json` was independently parsed with PowerShell `ConvertFrom-Json` and is valid JSON.

## Relevant Log Output

After signing in, the Desktop log contains the following error:

```text
[ERROR] Error occurred in handler for 'comfybuilder:listBuilds':
ComfyBuilderApiError: Forbidden: /v1/builds?limit=100:
The developer platform is in limited beta and your account is not enabled yet.
```

This results in HTTP 403.

However, I have **not** established that this 403 is the direct cause of the local-instance disappearance. The important reproducible symptom is that signing in causes the local instance to disappear from the Dashboard, while signing out immediately restores it.

The current `app.log` does not show an error mentioning `Comfy-daohegu`, `installations.json`, or a failed local-instance load during the signed-in state.

## Additional Observation

Selecting **Add Existing Instance** does not solve the problem because Desktop already recognizes the directory as belonging to the existing installation:

```text
That directory is already used by "Comfy-daohegu".
```

This suggests the local installation is still registered correctly, while the signed-in Dashboard / instance picker is failing to display the registered local installation.

## Data Safety / Workaround

No local installation data was deleted or modified.

The following are intact:

* Existing ComfyUI installation
* `.venv`
* `.git`
* `custom_nodes`
* `models`
* `input` / `output`
* Desktop tracking marker
* `installations.json`
* Existing snapshots

### Current workaround

Remain signed out of the Comfy account.

When signed out, the existing `Comfy-daohegu` instance is displayed and can be used normally.

## Question

Could this be related to the signed-in Dashboard / instance picker state, account-specific filtering, or the new cloud/developer-platform UI?

The key distinction is:

> The same local installation is visible immediately before sign-in and immediately after sign-out, but disappears only while signed in.

Please let me know if you need the full `app.log`, `installations.json`, browser/renderer console logs, or additional diagnostic information.

### 我建议你提交时再附两张图

第一张：**未登录时显示 `Comfy-daohegu` 的主界面**。
第二张：**登录后显示 `实例 0` 的主界面**。

这样官方开发者可以一眼看到 A/B 差异。

还有一个很重要的点：**不要在 Issue 里公开你的真实 Comfy 账号邮箱**。上面的报告没有放。

Reproduce the sign-in/sign-out transition in the Desktop dashboard and compare the signed-in instance picker with %APPDATA%\Comfy Desktop\installations.json; review app.log, including the 403 from comfybuilder:listBuilds. Done means the registered Comfy-daohegu local instance remains visible and selectable while signed in, without requiring re-registration.
