Haileyesus 14e6b5b7b2 refactor(projects/sidebar): remove temp snapshot side-effects and simplify session metadata UX
Why this change was needed:
- Project listing had an implicit side effect: every fetch wrote a debug snapshot under `.tmp/project-dumps`.
  That added unnecessary disk I/O to a hot path, introduced hidden runtime behavior, and created maintenance
  overhead for code that was not part of product functionality.
- Keeping snapshot-specific exports/tests around made the projects module API broader than needed and coupled
  tests to temporary/debug behavior instead of user-visible behavior.
- Codex sessions could remain stuck with a placeholder name (`Untitled Codex Session`) even after a real title
  became available from newer sync data, which degraded session discoverability in the UI.
- Sidebar session rows showed duplicated provider branding and long-form relative times, which added visual noise
  and reduced scan speed when many sessions are listed.

What changed:
- Removed temporary projects snapshot dumping from `projects-with-sessions-fetch.service.ts`:
  - deleted snapshot types/helpers and file-write flow
  - removed the write call from `getProjectsWithSessions`
- Removed snapshot-related surface area from `projects/index.ts`.
- Removed the snapshot-focused test `projects.service.test.ts` that only validated removed debug behavior.
- Updated `codex-session-synchronizer.provider.ts` to upgrade session names when an existing session still has
  the placeholder title but a real parsed name is now available.
- Updated `SidebarSessionItem.tsx`:
  - removed duplicate provider logo rendering in each session row
  - moved age indicator to the right side
  - made age indicator fade on hover to prioritize action controls
  - switched to compact relative time format (`<1m`, `Xm`, `Xhr`, `Xd`) for faster list scanning

Outcome:
- Lower overhead and fewer hidden side effects in project fetches.
- Cleaner module boundaries in projects.
- Better Codex session naming consistency after sync.
- Cleaner sidebar density and clearer hover/action behavior.
