fix: Fix sidebar project switching, stale notifications and auto-scroll (#1182)

1. Fix "+" button not switching project by matching folders case-insensitively on remoteUrl
2. Sync task title updates to session store so notifications use the latest title
3. Rename updateCloudTaskTitle to updateSessionTaskTitle for clarity
4. Fix auto-scroll forcing user to bottom when list is already initialized
5. Remove unnecessary repoDirectories memo in favor of direct folder lookup
