Research direction

Reproduce the problem by enabling `chat.sessionSync.enabled` in VS Code 1.131.0-insider with only personal GitHub and Microsoft accounts, then read linked issues 251365 and 262694 for related behavior. Done means the setting can be enabled without an organisation restriction when no organisational account is configured.
