Add project and worktree navigation with restored search and selection, workspace-preserving targets, and optional worktree naming. Keep creation in the Ctrl+N footer and defer filesystem browsing.
Reuse the shared dependency-aware plugin loader for Core hot reloads. Scope watcher setup callbacks and subscriptions, recover missing external helpers, and preserve explicit local entrypoint invalidation without reloading package dependencies. Add regression coverage and portable RPC fixtures.
Reload statically discovered local plugin dependencies through native module caches while preserving shared package identities and best-effort last-good registrations.
