[FEATURE] More Projects on the Free plan
Preflight Checklist

- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
The Free plan currently limits users to 5 Projects. Competing products (ChatGPT Projects, Google NotebookLM) offer significantly higher limits on their free tiers. Since the real constraint on usage is the token/context budget per conversation (which already gates free usage via the 5-hour rolling window), capping the number of organizational containers (Projects) doesn't reduce actual compute cost — it just limits how users can organize unrelated bodies of work (e.g., multiple independent creative or research projects).
Proposed Solution
Raise the Free plan's Project limit closer to parity with competitors (e.g., NotebookLM allows up to 100 projects/notebooks on its free tier), or - even better - just remove the project-count cap entirely and rely on the existing token/usage-window limits as the real constraint.

Use Case Example
Users working on multiple independent bodies of work (writers with several book/franchise projects, researchers with multiple topics, students with multiple courses) hit the 5-project ceiling quickly even without heavy usage, forcing them to either delete/merge unrelated projects or create multiple accounts as a workaround.
