Changelog Entry

Description

ChatGPT recently started including folder and project metadata entries in conversations.json exports. These entries lack a mapping key. When a folder entry appeared first in the array, getImportOrigin() checked only _chats[0], misidentified the file as webui format, and convertOpenAIChats() was never called — resulting in "Imported 0 Chats".

Fixed

getImportOrigin(): check if any item has a mapping key (via .some()), not just _chats[0]
convertOpenAIChats(): skip entries without mapping before attempting conversion, so folder/project metadata doesn't cause failures

Before

Importing a ChatGPT export that starts with a folder entry:

Imported 0 Chats  (green success toast, but nothing imported)

After

Same file imports correctly — folder/project entries are skipped, all conversations are imported.

Additional Information

Fixes [PR #14563] [MERGED] build(deps): bump azure-ai-documentintelligence from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2 in /backend (#23505)
The root cause is that ChatGPT exports now contain entries like { "id": "...", "title": "My Folder", "type": "folder", ... } alongside conversation entries. These lack the mapping key that conversations have.
Two prior PRs (#23524, #23525) identified the same root cause but were closed due to targeting main instead of dev and missing CLA.
