We should update this code in projectEventListeners.ts to use a new key.

// TODO: This method needs to be refactored to have use a project id instead of a path
function persistProjectIdInSettings(id: string) {
  setCachedSetting('project.current_directory', id);
  void saveCachedSettings();
}

Tasks:

• Add active_project_id to the settings backend API
• Adopt the new active_project_id in the client code
• Remove the deprecated current_directory setting from the backend API #494
• Stop using the project_path in the client code #504

No setting migration is needed.

This is a follow-up task after #425
