[bug]: Group by Modules doesn't show Work Items that were a part of an archived Module

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current behavior

When I archive a module but not it's child work items, those work items no longer show up in any column when I have "Group by Module" enabled. I would expect them to start showing up in the None column again. All other groupings show the items just fine, because they are not themselves archived.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set a Module for a Work Item
2. Archive the Module
3. Go to Work Items > Group By > Modules
4. Note that you can't see the Work Item in any of the columns anymore
5. Group By > Labels
6. You can see the Work Item again

@andreyrd Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Our team is currently working on a fix, and the changes will be included in an upcoming release.

This looks like a filtering logic issue. When a module is archived, the child work items should fall back to the "None" group if they're not archived themselves. The current behavior suggests the grouping filter is checking the parent module's archived state instead of just the work item's own state.

A quick fix might be to adjust the grouping query to only consider the work item's direct archived flag, not its parent module's status when determining visibility.
