While loading, the app shows this host's project as a teammate's, and Issues and PRs that then vanish #617

While the app loads, it briefly treats this host's own project as a teammate's, and shows Issues and PRs tabs that then disappear.

What was seen

• On almost every reload, across four testers: "Catch up on sandbox's channels on H72Q5YQ4CG. Open a checkout on this host to start channels here." with a Team pulse list, the picker reading "sandbox · H72Q5YQ4CG", the channel under a group headed "iamnbutler", "Loading chat…", and Agent access, desktop tools and Split disabled. H72Q5YQ4CG is this host. It then settles into the normal view. Testers saw it in the accessibility tree; screenshots caught only the settled page.
• The rail (and the bottom bar at phone width) shows Issues, PRs and an "A" avatar during load in a project with no GitHub repository, and they vanish once loading finishes. This follows fix(app): hide Issues and Pull requests when a project has no GitHub repository #591, which hides them for such projects.
• The Dashboard ignores All Projects: Dashboard while All Projects is selected shows the last single project with no notice, and picking All Projects from the Dashboard's picker jumps to Channels. The Dashboard picker has no ✓ for the current project.

Steps

1. Open a host with a local (non-GitHub) project and reload a few times, watching the first second.
2. Channels → project menu → All Projects, then click Dashboard.

Expected: a loading state that doesn't name this host as another host, no Issues/PRs until the project is known to have a GitHub repository, and a Dashboard that either covers all projects or says it shows one.
