shared project on unexpected room

Error message

shared project on unexpected room

What it means

share_project looks up the room participant row for the calling connection and asserts its room_id equals the room being shared on; a mismatch means the connection is participating in a different room than the one named in the request — an inconsistent or malicious request, not a user error.
