Research direction

Start by reproducing the mac client flow described in the issue: create a project, select “Cloud,” and inspect whether it is created locally. Trace the project-creation path from that UI action and compare the selected destination with the resulting project location. Done means the same action creates a cloud project; add or update coverage if an existing test area is found.
