Subject: [PATCH] feat(new-workspace): auto-highlight matching source for #NNN,
 GH URLs, Linear IDs

When the typed value is unambiguously a source reference, snap the
autocomplete highlight onto the matching source row once it appears
instead of leaving it on the typed-text fallback. Enter then picks the
intended source.

Recognized patterns:
  - GitHub shorthand: #1234
  - GitHub URL: https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/issues/123 or /pull/123
  - Linear identifier: STA-123 (case-insensitive [A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*-\d+)

Stale-results behavior is unchanged: while debouncedQuery hasn't caught
up to value, the typed-text row stays highlighted (Smart/Branches) or
the highlight is cleared (GitHub/Linear) regardless of intent.
