Nov 1, 2024November 2024: Stabilized Project Configuration Integrity in rstudio/rstudio. Implemented end-to-end fix for ProjectId handling: read from DCF fields, apply a default when missing, and ensure ProjectId is preserved when writing project configurations. This reduces project corruption risk and improves daily workflow reliability.
