Commit, Commit, Commit, Commit 🗂️ Folder uploads to knowledge bases.

Fixed 🤝 Shared folder read-only chats no longer sign users out. Opening or reading chats from shared folders now keeps the current session active when a resource-level access error is returned, instead of incorrectly showing "Session expired. Please sign in again."
Added 🤝 Share folders with your team. You can now share a folder and the chats inside it with specific users, groups, or everyone, with read or write access; people you share with see shared folders in their sidebar and open the chats in a read-only view when they are not the owner, and administrators control who is allowed to share folders with a new "Folders Sharing" permission that is off by de…

Affected call sites include web fetch, image loading, OAuth discovery, tool server execution, a…
