feat(app): find workspaces by PR/MR number in the command center (#3008)

* feat(app): find workspaces by PR/MR number in the command center

The command center matched workspaces on title, host, project, and
branch. Typing the change-request number you actually remember found
nothing, so you had to recall the branch name instead.

Workspace results now carry their pull/merge request number, and a
numeric query resolves it directly: 42, #42, !42, pr 42, and mr 42 all
reach the same workspace. Matching compares the parsed number exactly
rather than as a substring, so 42 no longer drags in PR 142 or a branch
that happens to contain those digits. Exact number hits sort above
ordinary text matches for the same query.

Nothing changes visually. The number is a search key only; result rows
render exactly as before.

The number is read from the pull request the daemon already sends.
selectPrHintFromStatus is the fallback only: it derives the number by
parsing the PR/MR URL, which yields nothing for a noncanonical or
absent URL even when the daemon sent a usable number.

* test(app): exercise change-request parsing through the matcher

parseChangeRequestQuery was exported only so the test could reach it,
which made an implementation helper part of the module surface and let
the parser cases pass without covering how the parser composes with
workspace matching.

Unexport it and drive the same spellings through matchWorkspaceQuery.
The rejection cases now assert what they actually protect: a query like
fix-42-retries must not take the number path, so a workspace whose PR is
42 does not match it.
