Subject: [PATCH] auto-open project from cwd and show Claude as primary

On desktop boot, main.dart calls project.open(cwd) to resolve the
git root. If a project opens successfully, the workspace activates
claude.primary instead of welcome. The _WorkspaceSlot now listens
to ProjectManager: when isOpen, Claude is always the visible
primary surface; when no project, welcome shows. This closes the
gap where the app loaded the project root but still displayed the
welcome screen as if no choice had been made.
