…oject directories
Add a WS endpoint (projects.checkDirectories) that checks whether project directories exist on disk, a React hook that calls it on mount and window focus (debounced at 500ms), and a generic request() method on NativeApi for untyped RPC calls.

What Changed
When a project folder is deleted or moved, the app now shows a clear "Project directory does not exist" error instead of the misleading "Codex CLI (codex) is not installed or not executable" message. The composer is disabled, sidebar threads show strikethrough styling, and everything auto-recovers when the folder is restored.
Why
Fixes #975. When a project directory no longer exists,
spawnSync("codex", ["--version"], { cwd: deletedPath })fails with ENOENT. The existing code assumed ENOENT always meant the binary was missing, producing a confusing error. Users had no way to understand the actual problem or recover from it.Key Changes
