The status-bar branch bleed (T-421) is a symptom of a deeper gap: there
is no single "open workspace X" primitive — only project.open() (in-place,
same process, shared daemonBus) and newWindow() (blank detached process,
no repo arg, no env scrub). T-367 and T-269 are the same root.
- Q-51 (architecture): unify on WorkspaceService.open(root, target);
open question of whether in-place switching survives at all vs a
strict workspace⇒window⇒process⇒socket⇒bus⇒session-id 1:1 mapping.
- T-422 epic owns the unification; T-421 reparented under it; T-423
builds the primitive and routes all entry points through it.
