feat(FN-3334): add auto-reload setting and fix worktree project resolution

Merged two features: FN-3334 introduces a new `autoReloadOnVersionChange` setting with a toggle in the Settings modal, version-check logic in the dashboard, and corresponding tests; FN-3335 fixes worktree project root resolution in `createFnAgent` and the skill resolver, with tests for both paths.
