Description
### Short summary
Unable to add a new project that has the same name as an existing project
### Affected version or release
1.1.14
### Installation context
_No response_
### What happened?
Let's say I have a project named `my-project` already registered in the app (from the Windows host). I then attempt to add a project named `my-project`, but this is in the WSL host. The WSL host version of `my-project` does not load in the app, even though it is allegedly registered in the WSL environment in GitHub Copilot Apps's settings.
### Steps to reproduce
1. Add a project that is on the Windows host.
2. Enable "WSL host (Preview)" feature
3. Restart GitHub Copilot App
4. From Environments in Settings , add the "Ubuntu (default)" host
5. From the "WSL: Ubuntu" remote host, add a project of the same name (as one added in step 1) on the WSL host
6. Observe the WSL host project is not added to the project list
### Expected behavior
I would expect the WSL hosted project to be added to the project list. If the project cannot be added, provide a helpful error message.
### Additional context
Potentially related to #90

Research direction
Reproduce the issue through Settings > Environments by adding a Windows project, enabling the WSL host, and adding the same-named Ubuntu project. Trace how projects from the WSL: Ubuntu remote host are added to the project list; done means the project appears despite the duplicate name, or a helpful error explains why it cannot be added.
