Fix GUI smoke regressions

[TraderSamwise]

Summary

• preserve project query state across GUI primary navigation and slow fallback polling behind SSE/event updates
• add stable accessible ids for worktree and agent-detail form fields
• verified GUI routes, worktree create/remove, and read-only agent chat through Chrome DevTools MCP

Verification

• yarn --cwd app typecheck
• yarn --cwd app lint (existing warnings only)
• yarn --cwd app test
• yarn typecheck
• push hook: yarn typecheck && yarn lint && yarn test (2039 tests)
• yarn build:ui:local
• local release install: local-826ea25, post-install repair 0 failures

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved background refresh timing for project discovery, desktop-state fallback, and notifications so updates are more consistent.
  • Fixed navigation behavior in project and tab views to better preserve the current route when switching screens.
  • Improved form accessibility by adding clearer labels and more reliable focus targets across agent, teammate, and worktree panels.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Splits a single 2 s polling constant into two named 10 s constants (PROJECT_LIST_POLL_INTERVAL_MS, PROJECT_VIEW_FALLBACK_POLL_INTERVAL_MS) and updates three polling effects to use them. Switches buildViewHref to buildViewPath in tab and sidebar navigation. Adds nativeID and accessibilityLabel props to form inputs in four panel components.

Changes

Polling interval split

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Poll constants and loop updates app/app/(main)/_layout.tsx	Replaces POLL_INTERVAL_MS = 2000 with two 10 s constants; updates /projects, /desktop-state, and notifications polling effects to use the appropriate constant.

Navigation path switch

Layer / File(s)	Summary
buildViewHref → buildViewPath app/lib/main-tabs.ts, app/components/ProjectSidebar.tsx	Updates imports and router.replace calls in useMainTabNavigation and SidebarPrimaryNav to use buildViewPath instead of buildViewHref.

Accessibility IDs on form inputs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
nativeID and accessibilityLabel on panel inputs app/components/agent-management-panel.tsx, app/components/screens/AgentChatScreen.tsx, app/components/teammate-panel.tsx, app/components/worktree-management-panel.tsx	Derives sanitized fieldIdPrefix/composerFieldId from session.id or sessionKey; assigns stable nativeID and accessibilityLabel to Label, Loop goal, Message, Role, Task, and worktree name inputs.

• TraderSamwise/aimux#50: Modifies the same three polling loops (/projects, /desktop-state, /notifications) in _layout.tsx, overlapping directly with the interval constant changes.
• TraderSamwise/aimux#109: Modifies the same ProjectSidebar.tsx project-navigation handler and URL construction that this PR switches from buildViewHref to buildViewPath.

Poem

🐇 Two constants where one used to dwell,
Ten seconds each — a slower bell.
The path is built, not href'd today,
And every input finds its way.
With IDs stable, labels bright,
This rabbit hops toward a11y light! ✨
