Description

Failed to create sessions for projects whose fit remotes don't contain the origin remote

This happens when creating a session on a project that has been added form a local folder which has GH remote, but renamed from origin to something else. The CopiloApp fails to create a session in this case completely.

Failed to create session: project bd1d8aca-b1d3-4e36-9b6d-0a2ae0049d52 has no origin remote; add an origin remote or remove and re-add the project

Research direction

Start by tracing session creation for projects added from a local folder when the GitHub remote is named something other than origin. Reproduce with a renamed remote and verify that the Copilot app creates the session without requiring an origin remote.
