📄 Description

Summary

Fixes #23505 — Import of ChatGPT export file results in "Imported 0 Chats".

Root Cause

ChatGPT export files (conversations.json) can include folder and project metadata entries that lack a mapping key. This caused two problems:

getImportOrigin() only checked _chats[0] for the mapping key. If a folder entry appeared first in the array, the export was misidentified as webui format and convertOpenAIChats() was never called — resulting in 0 imports.
convertOpenAIChats() did not skip non-conversation entries, so even when origin detection worked, folder/project entries would fail validation silently.

Changes

src/lib/utils/index.ts — getImportOrigin(): Check if any item in the array has a mapping key, instead of only checking _chats[0].
src/lib/utils/index.ts — convertOpenAIChats(): Skip entries without a mapping key (folders/projects) before attempting conversion, with a console log for visibility.

Testing

Tested with a ChatGPT export containing both folder entries and conversations — all conversations are now correctly imported.
