[Enhancement]: Prompt unauthenticated users to log in when accessing Shared Chat Links

[mansiibm]

What features would you like to see added?

When an unauthenticated user tries to access a shared chat link (as seen in screenshot), they are shown the message: "Shared link not found"

This message can be misleading if the only issue is that the user is not logged in.

Suggested Behavior:

If a user who is not logged in tries to access a shared chat link, they should be prompted to log in first.
After logging in, the user should be redirected back to the original shared chat link.
Only if the shared link truly does not exist should the "Shared link not found" message be displayed.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Log out from the application or use a private/incognito window.
2. Access a valid shared chat link.
3. Observe the "Shared link not found" message instead of a login prompt.

Enhancement Proposal:

1. Detect unauthenticated access to shared chat links.
2. Prompt users to log in, and after authentication, return them to the shared chat.
3. Display "Shared link not found" only if the link is invalid or does not exist (and after auth check).

More details

This change will guide users to log in first, enabling them to view shared chat links even in incognito mode, provided they authenticate. It reduces confusion and improves user experience by making the authentication requirement clear and providing a straightforward path to access.
