## Message

```
Fix navigating to Collab URLs not working when not connected (#59652)

# Objective

- Fix collab channel links opened from URL actions or the CLI when Zed
is signed in but not currently connected to the collab server.

## Solution

- Connect to collab before handling channel joins or channel notes
links.
- Keep downstream errors visible if connecting or opening still fails.

Release Notes:

collaboration server.
