Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/develop' into auto-claude/232-implement-multi-window-pop-out-support-for-project

CRITICAL: Clean up stale pop-out state when windows close
- Subscribe to WINDOW_CONFIG_CHANGED in App.tsx to diff and remove stale
  poppedOutProjects/poppedOutViews entries
- Add broadcastConfigChange() to WindowManager, called from closed handler

HIGH: Extract duplicated view rendering into shared function
- Add renderActiveViewForProject() used by both project-mode and main-mode
- Reduces 3x duplication of view-switching logic to 1 shared function

HIGH: Add URL security validation in child windows
- Import shell from electron (removes require('electron') usage)
- Apply ALLOWED_URL_SCHEMES pattern from index.ts to child windows

MEDIUM: Platform-conditional titleBarStyle
- Only apply 'hiddenInset' + trafficLightPosition on macOS via isMacOS()

MEDIUM: Extract shared window sizing constants
- Add WINDOW_SIZING to shared/constants/config.ts
- Update both index.ts and window-manager.ts to use shared constants

MEDIUM: Fetch real windowId from main process
- After URL param parsing, call window.electronAPI.window.getConfig()
  to replace placeholder windowId=0 with actual BrowserWindow.id

MEDIUM: Hardcoded English strings replaced with i18n keys
- 'Unknown view' -> errors:window.unknownView
- 'Project not found' -> errors:window.projectNotFound
- Added keys to both en and fr locale files

MEDIUM: Document batch queue design intent
- Add explanatory comment about why batch queue code exists
  (for future state types that don't need immediate sync)

MEDIUM: Document terminal broadcast design decision
- Explain why broadcasting to all windows is intentional
  (main window needs global output buffering)
