fix(web): show "No project" near the top of the new thread picker

[juliusmarminge]

"No project" was already an option in New thread in..., but it was the last row, below every project. With more than a handful of projects it sat off screen, so users reported it as missing.

It now goes right after the current project, so it is visible without scrolling and Enter still starts in the current project. When the current thread has no project, "No project" goes first. It also always shows its own mod+alt+n shortcut; before, it took a mod+N slot when there were fewer than nine projects.

The new-thread-in open path re-sorted the list to put the current project first, which buildSidebarProjectPickerEntries already does. That duplicate sort is gone, so the sidebar button, chat.new, and the root palette's submenu all show the same order.

Before	After

Both taken with the same 12 projects, from a thread in pingdotgg/t3code.

Web/desktop only. Mobile's new-task screen already lists "No project" first.

Model: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) in Claude Code via T3 Code.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The command palette now builds project actions for the new-thread view, adjusts where the “No project” action appears, and uses the resulting list without separately reordering it by the active project.

Changes

New-thread project picker

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Build project actions apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx	Project actions exclude scratch projects and include group member titles, paths, and the environment label as search terms. Selecting a project reuses the contextual project reference when it belongs to the selected group. When a scratch target environment exists, the “No project” action appears after the first project, or first when the first picker project is scratch.
Use project actions in new-thread view apps/web/src/components/CommandPalette.tsx	The new-thread view uses the project actions directly. It no longer reorders them by the active project or re-enumerates the list.
