Restore fuzzy project folder search and desktop browsing (#1968)

* fix(projects): restore folder search and browsing

* fix(projects): preserve fuzzy search edge cases

* test(projects): move picker cleanup into fixture

* fix(projects): preserve absolute path descendants

* test(server): compare canonical search paths

* fix(projects): anchor root path suggestions

* fix(projects): anchor Windows root suggestions

* fix(projects): anchor directory search paths

* test(server): canonicalize directory search root

* fix(app): anchor rooted basename suggestions

* refactor(search): unify directory suggestions

Use one parameterized daemon search engine for project paths and workspace entries. Keep local recommendations as a small client overlay and remove unnecessary response metadata.

* fix(search): preserve filesystem root semantics

Accept absolute queries through configured root aliases while keeping traversal and output canonical. Keep blank suffix browsing matcher-independent and avoid metadata-keyed listing caches where Windows cannot invalidate them reliably.
