Problem
Dispatch only shows projects that already have Copilot sessions. If a developer wants to start work in a repo with no recent session, they must leave Dispatch, change directories, and run Copilot manually.
Proposed solution
Add a project quick-start view that scans configured project roots for git repositories and shows New session rows for repos without a recent Copilot session. Pressing Enter on one of these rows should launch Copilot in that folder using the existing launch mode, terminal, shell, agent, model, and yolo settings. Keep the first version simple: configured roots, git repo detection, and launch from the repo root.
User impact
Developers can use Dispatch as the entry point for both resuming old work and starting new work. This matches how project switchers and session pickers are used in terminal workflows.
