docs: v2.3.0 release notes + README What's New

Prep commit for the v2.3 release. Covers the 16 feature + fix
commits landed on the v2.3-projects branch:

- releases/v2.3.0/RELEASE_NOTES.md — new file. release.sh picks
  this up automatically as the GitHub release body at tag time.
  Sections: sidebar grows up (folders/rename/archive/search/
  keyboard jumps), per-project Sessions tab + sidecar, the
  AGENTS.md marker-block injection (with the invariants —
  secret-safe, idempotent, bounded, non-fatal, bare-project
  friendly — called out explicitly), chat-UI project awareness
  (folder chip + nav title), window-layout cleanup, under-the-
  hood (new services, 22 new tests), migration, thanks.
- README.md — "What's New in 2.3" block at the top; demotes
  the prior 2.2 block to "Previously, in 2.2" (condensed to the
  four most user-facing points since the full 2.2 notes live at
  the release link).
- Localizable.xcstrings — Xcode auto-regen from the new string
  literals introduced across the v2.3 feature commits (folder
  chip tooltip, Sessions tab header, etc.). Riding along.

93/93 Swift tests still pass. No code change here — pure docs.
Wiki Home + Release-Notes-Index updates land as a separate
wiki commit after the release is cut (standard post-release
chore per CLAUDE.md).

## What's New in 2.2
## What's New in 2.3
- **Project Templates** — Scarf projects can now travel. Package a project's dashboard, agent instructions, skills, cron jobs, and a typed configuration schema into a `.scarftemplate` bundle, hand it to anyone, and they install it in one click. Every bundle ships with a cross-agent `AGENTS.md` ([agents.md](https://agents.md/) standard) so the instructions work in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Aider, and the 20+ other agents that read it natively. Browser-based one-click install via `scarf://install?url=…` deep links. Export / Install from File / Install from URL live under the new **Templates** menu in the Projects toolbar.
- **Typed configuration with Keychain-backed secrets** — Templates declare a schema with seven field types (`string`, `text`, `number`, `bool`, `enum`, `list`, `secret`). A **Configure** step in the install flow renders the form, routes secrets to the macOS Keychain, and drops non-secret values into `<project>/.scarf/config.json`. A slider icon in the dashboard header opens the same form post-install for edits — rotate a token, change a site, toggle a feature, and the next cron run picks it up.
- **Public template catalog** — [awizemann.github.io/scarf/templates/](https://awizemann.github.io/scarf/templates/) is a static catalog site generated from `templates/<author>/<name>/` in this repo. Each template has a detail page with a live dashboard preview, the schema rendered with constraint summaries, and a one-click install button. Community submissions go through a CI-enforced Python validator that mirrors the Swift-side invariants.
- **Preview-before-apply** — Every install shows a preview sheet listing the exact project directory that will be created, every file inside it, every skill that will be namespaced, every cron job that will be registered (paused by default), every Keychain secret that will be written, and a live diff of any memory appendix. Markdown fields render inline. Nothing writes until you click Install.
- **Site tab** — A dashboard with at least one `webview` widget gets a second tab next to Dashboard. The example `awizemann/site-status-checker` template uses this to render whatever URL you configured as your first watched site, updating on every cron run.
- **Safe-by-design** — Skills install into `~/.hermes/skills/templates/<slug>/` so they never collide with your own. Cron jobs carry a `[tmpl:<id>]` tag and start paused. A `template.lock.json` records every file, cron job, Keychain ref, and memory block for one-click uninstall. Exports carry the configuration schema but never the user's values — safe on projects with live config. Templates **never** touch `config.yaml`, `auth.json`, sessions, or credentials.
- **Projects sidebar grows up** — group projects into folders, rename / archive / unarchive in place, filter the list with ⌘F, jump to the first nine with ⌘1–⌘9. Archived projects hide by default; a toggle in the bottom bar surfaces them. Non-destructive on the v2.2 registry file — downgrade stays clean.
- **Per-project Sessions tab** — alongside Dashboard and Site. Shows chats attributed to the project, with a **New Chat** button that spawns `hermes acp` with the project's directory as the session cwd and attributes the result via a Scarf-owned sidecar (`~/.hermes/scarf/session_project_map.json`). Click any listed session to resume it with project context automatically restored.
- **Agent actually knows what project it's in** — the architectural headline. Every project-scoped chat gets a Scarf-managed block auto-injected into the project's `AGENTS.md` before the session starts. Hermes reads AGENTS.md from the session's cwd at startup and picks up the block as part of its system prompt. Ask the agent *"what project am I in?"* and it answers with the project name, directory, template id + version, configuration field names, and registered cron jobs — pulled from the injected block. Secret-safe (field names only, never values), idempotent, bounded to `<!-- scarf-project:begin/end -->` markers so template-author content outside the block is preserved across refreshes.
- **Project indicator in Chat** — folder chip in `SessionInfoBar` and `Chat · <ProjectName>` in the nav title when you're in a project-scoped chat. Resumed sessions keep the indicator by looking up the attribution sidecar at resume time.
- **Window-layout cleanup** — switching to Chat or a Sessions tab no longer grows the window past the screen. `.windowResizability(.contentMinSize)` + targeted `idealHeight` caps keep the window's floor at a sensible content minimum while letting users freely drag larger or smaller.
