jelveh 3ce672177c feat(gui): reverse morph — dashboard tile icons zoom into their opening window
Opening an app in dashboard mode now runs the minimize morph backwards:
the window grows out of its tile's icon box (transform + opacity only,
radius relaxing from the 22% squircle to the resting value) while a clone
of the icon enlarges IN PLACE on its slot — capped at 2.5x, fully dissolved
by ~250% growth — as the window fades in underneath on the same 450ms
cubic-bezier(0.32, 0.72, 0, 1) path with the crossfade handoff mirrored
(window in at 80-240ms, ghost out at 120-320ms).

Both open paths get the morph, with the same visibility conditions as
minimize (Apps section active, tile on the pager page in view, not phone,
no reduced motion), falling back to the existing fades otherwise:

- fresh launch: TabApps passes window_options.morph_from_dashboard_tile,
  and UIWindow morphs instead of the 70ms opening fade. Since .window is
  display:none from the stylesheet until later in the pipeline, the hook
  shows it before measuring (nothing has painted yet, so neither the early
  show nor the hide-back on a declined morph can flash).
- un-minimize: showWindow's minimized-in-place branch morphs instead of
  fadeIn(150), keeping the z-index bump and 80ms focus timing.

A data-window_morphing flag guards against opposing morphs fighting over
the window's inline styles: minimize clicked mid-open-zoom (or a tile
click mid-minimize-zoom) falls back to the pre-morph fade behavior, and
each animation still restores every inline property byte-identical when
it ends.
