The desktop embedded runtime auto-registered its runtime root (the user's HOME directory) as a
project on first launch, and bare `fusion` / `fn` / `fn dashboard` / `fusion dashboard`
auto-registered the CWD as a project. Both silently created a "cwd-mode" project the operator
never chose and dropped them onto a board for it.
- Desktop: replace ensureDesktopRuntimeProject (which registered home) with
resolveDesktopRuntimePrimaryProject, which only PICKS an already-registered project as the
primary engine target and registers nothing. With no projects the server starts engine-less
(createServer's engine is optional) and the dashboard shows its onboarding empty state.
Applied to both the primary (local-runtime) and legacy (local-server) desktop server paths.
- CLI dashboard command: ensureCwdProjectRegistered now runs with autoRegister:false, so it uses
the CWD project only if already registered, else starts with none and the dashboard onboards.
(serve/daemon keep their existing --no-auto-register flag; the CLI `desktop` launcher unchanged.)
Verified: with zero projects the embedded server starts, /api/health -> 200, /api/projects -> [],
/ serves the client. Unit test asserts resolveDesktopRuntimePrimaryProject registers nothing.
