Edit Project dialog name/color changes fail to save properly

Steps to Reproduce:

Right-click a project → Edit Project
Change name or click a different color
Click Save → dialog closes
Reopen Edit Project → changes are lost
Root Cause (3 issues):

useMutation missing onError — API errors are silently swallowed, user sees nothing
Icon color saved as "" instead of omitted — next dialog open shows no color selected (inconsistent with sidebar)
No local sync of name/color after save — relies on SSE event that may be delayed
Files: packages/app/src/components/dialog-edit-project.tsx

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

Project edit dialog does not persist name or icon changes #24744: Project edit dialog does not persist name or icon changes (same Save dialog issue — name and icon/color changes not persisting)
bug: project edits (name, color, commands) don't persist for global/no-ID projects #31739: bug: project edits (name, color, commands) don't persist for global/no-ID projects (very similar symptoms and root cause analysis)
[Bug] Project edits (name, icon, color) not persisted after restart in v1.14.39 #25946: [Bug] Project edits (name, icon, color) not persisted after restart (same behavior)
[Bug] Project edit dialog does not persist name or icon changes (Windows Desktop v1.17.4) #32164: [Bug] Project edit dialog does not persist name or icon changes (Windows Desktop v1.17.4) (same issue, recent)
Project name and icon color not persisting after rename — desktop client fails to save changes to .dat files #25578: Project name and icon color not persisting after rename (same core symptom)

If your issue is distinct from the above (e.g. a different root cause or environment), please add a note explaining how it differs so we can track it separately.

This happens to me on a project lined to a network drive without git. The edit for a local project works with git works.

To stay organized issues are automatically closed after 60 days of no activity. If the issue is still relevant please open a new one.
