- PR #134085: fix: scope the desktop project cache per profile for new-session cwd (#79406)

A bug where the current working directory is incorrectly inherited from a previous profile's project during profile switches, causing wrong files (such as AGENTS.md) to be loaded. Fixes address this in both the desktop and TUI layers by resolving cwd from the correct profile's projects database.
