Problem
Projects themselves are visible in the Linux desktop app, but chats
belonging to those Projects are missing.
The same Project and its chats are visible correctly in the ChatGPT PWA /
chatgpt.com using the same account.

What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open a Project in chatgpt.com/PWA.
- Confirm that it contains existing chats.
- Open the same Project in the Linux desktop app.
- The chats are absent.
What is the expected behavior?
The desktop app should display the same Project chat history as chatgpt.com.
