📄 Description

Summary

Fixes #22772: When a folder has a custom system prompt, creating a "Temporary Chat" in that folder now correctly applies the folder's prompt.
The root cause was that temporary chats are not persisted to the database, so the backend's folder lookup by chat_id returned nothing. The fix captures the folder_id on the frontend when a temporary chat starts and passes it in the request payload. The backend falls back to this client-supplied folder_id when the DB lookup finds no result.
This also ensures folder knowledge files are attached to temporary chats, not just the system prompt.

Changes

src/lib/components/chat/Chat.svelte: Store temporaryChatFolderId when initializing a temporary chat inside a folder; send it as folder_id in the chat completion request.
backend/open_webui/main.py: Extract folder_id from the request payload into metadata.
backend/open_webui/utils/middleware.py: Fall back to metadata["folder_id"] when Chats.get_chat_folder_id() returns nothing (as happens with temporary chats).

Test plan

Create a folder with a custom system prompt (e.g., "Always respond in pirate speak")
Create a regular chat in that folder — verify the prompt is applied
Create a temporary chat in that folder — verify the prompt is now also applied
Create a temporary chat outside any folder — verify no regression (no folder prompt injected)
Create a folder with knowledge files — verify temporary chats in that folder receive the files
