Dashboard files: clicking an open file returns to its window
In dashboard mode there is no taskbar, so a minimized app window's only
switcher was its Apps-tab tile — invisible from the Files tab. Opening a
file, minimizing, and clicking the file again launched a second instance
of the app, stranding the first (and any unsaved edits) somewhere
unreachable.

Make the file row itself the switcher:

- launch_app stamps the opened file's uid on the window (data-file_uid;
  the signature's uid wins so shortcuts resolve to their target)
- open_item (dashboard mode) restores/focuses an existing window that
  has the file open instead of launching a duplicate, mirroring the
  Apps-tab tile's single-instance behavior — keyed by file, not app, so
  opening a different file still gets its own instance
- re-clicks while a launch's fetches are still in flight are swallowed
  (same idea as TabApps._launchingApps, keyed by file uid, TTL'd so a
  failed launch can't swallow clicks forever)
- dashboard file opens now default to maximized, so they get the same
  headless full-tab chrome + control drawer as tile launches instead of
  a floating titlebar window
- rows show a dot while their file is open in a (possibly minimized)
  window — under the name in grid view, inline after it in list view —
  driven by the existing dashboard-app-windows-changed event

Desktop mode is untouched: the reuse branch and maximized default are
gated on is_dashboard_mode, and opening the same file twice there still
creates two windows as before.
