Lithe v0.1.14

Highlights

• Added IDEA-style multi-project workflows: choose whether another project opens in this window or a new window, and persist that preference in Settings.

Workspace improvements

• Added a project-opening prompt with This Window, New Window, and Don't ask again options.
• Added a full-width project tab bar with balanced spacing, rounded active and hover states, stable close controls, and horizontal scrolling when space is limited.
• Added open-project switching to the project menu and preserved unsaved-change handling when closing projects or quitting the app.

Interface refinements

• Updated the Git tool-window icon to match the IDEA visual language.
• Removed persistent separators between workspace modules while retaining hover and drag feedback.
