🤖 fix: default review base to origin/main and unify with git status (#1414)

## Summary

Scope review-base settings to the project level and unify with git
status tracking.

### Changes

- **Per-project review-base storage**: Review diff base is now stored
per-project (`review-default-base:{projectPath}`) instead of globally
- **Unified git status**: GitStatusStore uses the same base ref as the
review panel, so ahead/behind counts match the diff view
- **Flexible base ref**: `generateGitStatusScript()` accepts a custom
base ref; falls back to auto-detection for HEAD
- **Prop threading**: Added `projectPath` prop through RightSidebar →
ReviewPanel/ReviewControls
- **Helpful error hint**: When a configured ref doesn't exist, shows a
hint to use the dropdown

### Default Behavior

The default remains `HEAD` for test compatibility. Users can change the
base per-project via the dropdown (e.g., to `origin/main`,
`origin/master`, etc.). Once changed, the git status indicator will use
the same base.

### Testing

- All integration tests pass
- Typecheck passes
- Static checks pass
