Summary

Add an optional launcher/start screen for recent projects, new sandbox project, open project, and last scene resume.

Why

Blacksite currently behaves like one workspace. A future-game editor sandbox needs project switching and sandbox creation as first-class workflows.

Implementation notes

Add EditorStartupState or LauncherState before full editor mode.
Keep direct-open behavior behind CLI flag or saved preference.
Extend ProjectWorkspace with project id, last opened scene, and project kind.
Add assets/project.ron fields for display name, default scene, template version, and capabilities.
Add File > Switch Project and File > Reveal Project Folder.

Acceptance criteria

First launch can create a sandbox project with expected asset folders.
Recent projects filters missing folders and shows last scene.
Existing default repo project still opens directly when configured.
Window title and active scene path update after switching.

Tests/docs

Unit test manifest read/write defaults. Smoke test temp project create/open/save/reload. Update README Running and docs/editor/architecture.md.

M0 closeout triage: this remains valuable, but it is not part of the completed M0 foundation cut that landed through cc6acb1. Carrying this to M5 where first-hour UX, samples, and startup guidance are tracked.
