Description

What is the feature you'd like to have?
Please show the cached state of the remote's projects in the remote browser while I am disconnected.

Is your feature request related to a problem?
If I want to open a locally-cached copy of a remote project while I am offline, there is no good way to do this outside of the Recent Projects in the new tab (or navigating to the <GUID>.bnpr on disk if it wasn't recently opened). This is annoying.

Are any alternative solutions acceptable?
Probably, but this seems to be the most straight-forward way to solve the problem.

Research direction

The issue does not name an implementation file or test. Start by locating the remote browser and the Recent Projects/new-tab handling, then compare how cached .bnpr projects are discovered while offline. Done means cached projects from the remote are visible and can be opened while disconnected, including projects not recently opened.
