Research direction

Start at the altimate-code link workspace picker and the TUI's “Link this project to a workspace” picker. Trace how each chooses between a listed workspace and quick creation when names match. Done means the matching workspace is selected by default and creating a duplicate-name workspace asks for confirmation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

What happens

A workspace named analytics is shared with me. In an analytics repo that isn't linked yet, I run altimate-code link. The picker says "Found 1 workspace." but opens on + Create a quick workspace "analytics" here. Pressing Enter creates a second workspace called analytics, and the team's skills and memory are now split between the two.

The TUI's "Link this project to a workspace" picker does the same.

Expected

When a listed workspace already has the name a quick create would use, the picker opens on that workspace. Creating another workspace with the same name asks for confirmation first.
