feat: distinguish duplicate application names by folder

README.md

 Background discovery preserves the selected application even if its row changes. If that application disappears, the first remaining result is selected. Changing the query or reopening the launcher selects the first result.
 
+Applications with identical display names show a muted containing-folder hint beside the name. Copies sharing the same folder show their full application bundle paths instead. Home paths abbreviate to `~`, and long hints truncate in the middle. Unique names have no hint; locations are recalculated whenever discovery refreshes.

 ## Native UI
 
 The launcher keeps its Raycast-inspired 750 × 474-point, titlebar-free rounded panel, large borderless search field, compact icon rows, right-aligned application labels, and bottom-right launch pill. Its Sunset palette uses a dark brown background, soft amber and rust glows, warm cream text, and orange accents on the caret, selection, and action outline.
