Research direction

Reproduce the report in Copilot desktop 1.0.18 on macOS 26.5.1 by selecting a local folder and entering text in the chat box. Trace why the selected folder is not recognized as a project; done means the selected repository remains available and chat input no longer reports that no project is selected.
