# Objective

The project panel doesn't show a file or folder's actual location on
disk anywhere in the UI — you have to rely on the tab title or context
menu ("Copy Path") to find out where a file actually lives, which is
especially unclear for files with the same name in different folders, or
when a project has multiple worktrees.

## Solution
- Adds a tooltip to each file/folder row in the project panel that shows
the entry's path on hover, with the home directory abbreviated to `~`
(via the existing `PathExt::compact()` utility, consistent with how
paths are already displayed elsewhere, e.g. the Recent Projects list).

## Testing

- Manually tested by hovering over files and folders at various nesting
depths in the project panel and confirming the tooltip shows the correct
path.
- Tested with a project both inside and outside the home directory to
confirm the `~` substitution only applies when appropriate.
- Confirmed existing row behavior (selection, click-to-open,
drag-and-drop, right-click context menu) is unaffected by the added
tooltip.
- Reviewers: hover over any row in the project panel and confirm the
tooltip appears after the normal hover delay and shows the expected
path.
- Tested on macOS only — haven't verified on Linux/Windows.
