Unable to add a project of the same name #3247

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.
