folder needs to be filtered by project

[longshuicy]

11052025 update:

Switch this back to draft since we need to discuss what's the behavior for a empty folder not associate with any conversation.

When creating a folder, the request body includes the courseName, but the folders table doesn’t have a course_name field, so it isn’t stored. Since conversations link to folders via folder_id, how is the folder tied to a specific course before any conversations exist?

---

To test:

• Create a folder under one project, drag some conversation to that folder
• Open another project, the folders shouldn't be visible

In post call while creating folder, the request is giving 200 but sends course_name as undefined because it will be in the body which causes an instant disappearing of the folder.

Server debug logs for the post call:

eq.params {}
courseName undefined
user_email rohan13@illinois.edu
method POST
req.body {
  folder: {
    id: '6b06dde6-6100-4913-985c-4793bdfca7d1',
    name: 'New folder',
    type: 'chat'
  },
  courseName: 'test'
}
