Subject: [PATCH] feat(cli): wmill init creates root .claude/launch.json for
 the picker
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Adds a workspace-root .claude/launch.json so Claude Code can launch
`wmill dev` from the project root and land on the file picker (no
--path → picker mode). Per-flow and per-raw_app launch.json files are
already generated by the existing scans. Skipped (with a gray log) if
the file already exists, so the user's customizations are preserved.
