fix: resolve data directory persistence between Electron and Web modes

Browse Source 
This commit fixes bidirectional data synchronization between Electron and Web
modes by addressing multiple interconnected issues:

**Core Fixes:**

1. **Electron userData Path (main.ts)**
   - Explicitly set userData path in development using app.setPath()
   - Navigate from __dirname to project root instead of relying on process.cwd()
   - Ensures Electron reads from /data instead of ~/.config/Automaker

2. **Server DataDir Path (main.ts, start-automaker.sh)**
   - Fixed startServer() to use __dirname for reliable path calculation
   - Export DATA_DIR environment variable in start-automaker.sh
   - Server now consistently uses shared /data directory

3. **Settings Sync Protection (settings-service.ts)**
   - Modified wipe protection to distinguish legitimate removals from accidents
   - Allow empty projects array if trashedProjects has items
   - Prevent false-positive wipe detection when removing projects

4. **Diagnostics & Logging**
   - Enhanced cache loading logging in use-settings-migration.ts
   - Detailed migration decision logs for troubleshooting
   - Track project counts from both cache and server

**Impact:**
- Projects created in Electron now appear in Web mode after restart
- Projects removed in Web mode stay removed in Electron after restart
- Settings changes sync bidirectionally across mode switches
- No more data loss or project duplication issues

**Testing:**
- Verified Electron uses /home/dhanush/Projects/automaker/data
- Confirmed server startup logs show correct DATA_DIR
- Tested project persistence across mode restarts
- Validated no writes to ~/.config/Automaker in dev mode
