Which project group you are looking at is addressable state, so /chat?cwd=<dir> has to be a
link anyone can hand out — it survives a refresh and an agent run can point straight at its
own runs directory. Was usePanelChannel('chat:active-cwd'), which per the navigation audit is
for signals and refresh buses only. Row links and New Chat now carry the query string along.
