fix(web): remove projects with archived threads

[ipanasenko]

Problem

Project removal counted only unarchived threads from the live shell snapshot. A project containing only archived threads therefore appeared empty, sent a non-forced delete command, and failed the server invariant instead of being removed.

Fix

• always force thread deletion after the user confirms project removal in Settings or the sidebar
• make the destructive confirmation and checkout count explicit about archived versus unarchived threads
• document that removing a project clears all conversation history but leaves workspace files on disk
• add a regression test for the archived-only case

Implemented with GPT-5.6 Sol in the T3 Code Codex harness.

Note

Fix project deletion to include archived threads by always passing force: true

• Adds a projectDeleteCommandInput helper in projectRemoval.ts that always returns { projectId, force: true }, since archived threads are absent from live shell snapshots and require a forced delete.
• Updates project removal flows in LegacySidebar.tsx and ProjectSettingsPanel.tsx to use this helper, removing previous conditional logic around the force flag.
• Updates confirmation dialog copy in both components to explicitly state that all threads, including archived ones, will be permanently deleted.
• Behavioral Change: Projects that previously failed to remove archived threads will now have all associated threads deleted on removal.

This was closed as part of an automated cleanup pass. If you believe it was closed in error, reply here and we will get it reopened.

Closing as superseded by #8798, which is on main. Project removal now warns that archived history will be deleted and sends force: true after confirmation. It no longer needs a complete archive snapshot to remove the project, so this additional archive-read path is not needed.
