thomaspblockandGitHub fb73561e64 feat(desktop): Projects follow-ups — access restrictions, fast loading, activity feed polish (#5073)
## Summary

Follow-up batch on the Projects overview (continues merged #1677):

- **Repository access restrictions** — repositories the viewer can't
reach are surfaced with a reason instead of failing silently.
Channel-ACL denials (which arrive as the same 404 as a missing repo, for
anti-enumeration) are re-classified using the repository's channel
binding and the viewer's memberships (`useRepositoryAccess.ts`,
`projectRepoAvailability.ts`).
- **Projects loads in seconds instead of minutes** — enumeration no
longer crawls every kind:5 deletion event on the relay. It fetches
project/repo announcements first, then queries deletions scoped to those
coordinates via chunked `#a` filters (3 queries instead of hundreds on
staging).
- **Activity feed layout polish** — bare event-type glyph beside the
headline (no badge circle), timeline spine runs through the avatars
connecting consecutive cards, linkable actor/project names are bold in
theme foreground, rounded hover state, alignment fixes.
- **Create button pinned** — the "+" create menu is pinned to the pane's
top-right corner (equal 16px insets) and no longer scrolls away with the
page header.
- **List controls as a table header** — the scope selector (left) and
sort + layout toggle (right) render as the first row of the list
container on the Projects/Repositories/PRs/Issues tabs; in card view the
identical bar stands alone with the cards below
(`ProjectsListHeaderBar.tsx`).
- **Repository rows show the git location** — subtitle is
`github.com/org/repo` for external repos or `owner/repo` (resolved
profile name) for Buzz-hosted ones, instead of repeating the project
name (`repositoryDisplayPath`).
- **Uniform work-item row heights** — issue rows previously ran the
author chip in inline flow, letting the 20px avatar grow the line box
~3px taller than PR rows; both lists now share the same flex subtitle.

Note: two empty `chore: retrigger CI` commits exist on the branch from
working around the Aug 6 GitHub Actions incident; happy to drop them
with a signoff rebase before undrafting if preferred. Latest `main` is
merged in (`a0cc35220`).

## Test plan

- [x] Desktop unit tests (4,493 pass after merging main), Biome, tsc
- [x] New unit tests for scoped deletion enumeration and repo
availability re-classification
- [x] New unit tests for `repositoryDisplayPath` (external, Buzz-hosted,
unresolvable)
- [x] Screenshot verification of feed layout, connector spine, and
pinned button (top + scrolled states) — posted to the PR
- [x] Screenshot verification of the list header row (list + card), repo
subtitles, and matching PR/issue row heights — posted to the PR
- [ ] Manual pass against staging (projects list load time,
restricted-repo states)
