* fix(settings): use Workspace Directory for the Create-project default path `repos:getDefaultCreateProjectParent` hardcoded `join(homedir(), 'orca', 'projects')` and never consulted the settings store, so Settings -> General -> Workspace Directory had no effect on the Location field of "Create new project". Users had to retype the path every time, or fake it with an NTFS junction. Resolve the parent from the store instead, through the same rule the rest of the app uses for a host preference: `host override ?? client default`, i.e. `getEffectiveHostSetting(settings, LOCAL_EXECUTION_HOST_ID, 'defaultWorktreeLocation', settings.workspaceDir)`. This handler only ever answers for the local host, and a local-host override previously could not win either. A seeded value is not a user choice. `workspaceDir` is never blank -- new installs seed it with `~/orca/workspaces` -- so treating any non-blank value as configured would silently relocate every existing user's new projects into the worktree root. Worktrees nest at `<workspaceDir>/<repoName>/<branch>`, so such a project would then host its own worktrees inside its own working tree. Compare against `getDefaultWorkspaceDir(homedir())` (now exported) via `normalizeRuntimePathForComparison`, and keep `~/orca/projects` for blank, whitespace-only, and untouched-default values. Also scope the `~/orca/projects` shorthand in `formatCreateProjectParentSummary` to the fallback path itself. Otherwise a user with Workspace Directory set to `J:\PROJECTS` saw the summary line claim `~/orca/projects` while the field held `J:\PROJECTS`. Fixes #14767 * fix(settings): keep configured orca/projects paths verbatim in the create summary The collapsed Location summary used a tail match on orca/projects, so a configured directory like /data/orca/projects rendered as ~/orca/projects. Scope the shorthand to usual home layouts and pin the lookalike cases.
