Recovered outcome

A project stays available when its knowledge cleanup fails. The Projects screen now explains the refusal instead of appearing to ignore the delete action.

Scope

• Return one typed delete outcome from the Desktop project IPC boundary.
• Keep the selected project when the SQLite cleanup transaction fails.
• Show the returned reason in the existing Projects surface.
• Add a real SQLite refusal check and a rendered failure-state integration check.

Passed checks

• Live development flow: created and deleted F3 Live Cleanup through the rendered Projects surface in an isolated profile.
• npm run test:db -- src/main/__tests__/rag-ipc-project-create.dbtest.ts: 3 passed.
• Rendered Projects refusal integration: 1 passed.
• Focused ESLint: 0 errors; 6 existing preload warnings.
• Diff and formatting checks passed.
• CodeRabbit passed or skipped review because this PR is draft.

Open gates

• Desktop node and web typechecks remain blocked by existing Shared/model/RAG interface drift in models-manager.ts, rag/index.ts, rag/store.ts, and setup.ts.
• Hosted CI failed at the same core typecheck gate and did not run later checks.
• The production and packaged Desktop builds were not run because the typecheck gate is open.
• The live refusal-state run did not finish because the existing startup/navigation surface was unstable; the real SQLite and rendered integration checks passed separately.
• Visual inspection is open because this recovery task prohibits Computer Use.

This PR must remain draft while these required gates are open.
