Subject: [PATCH] fix: auto-expand sidebar when a project is selected

When the sidebar is collapsed and the user clicks a project, the session
list was silently updated behind the hidden panel with no visual feedback,
leaving the user confused about why nothing appeared to change.

Fixed by setting sidebarCollapsed: false in both selectProject and
selectRepository at the moment of selection. Both entry points are covered:
- selectRepository: used by the dashboard project cards
- selectProject: used by the command palette and keyboard shortcuts
