Nariman Jelveh ccec3ce39b fix(gui): open add-an-app choices through the deep-link intro, not a + tile morph
60686643b made App Center and the AI builder morph out of the + tile the
user clicked, which answers where the window came from but not the
question these two options exist to answer: where the APP went. The grid
never showed it arriving, so the user still ended a launch with nothing
to find, no tile for minimize to fly back to, and no lesson learned.

Choosing either option now plays exactly what an /app/<name> landing
plays (beginDeepLinkLaunch): when the app already has a tile the intro
travels to it, plays the click flourish, and the window grows out of the
app's own slot; when it doesn't, the tile is INSTALLED first — the slot
opens, the progress stroke draws, the icon springs in — and only then
does the window morph out of the tile that just arrived. Same beats,
same exposure decay, same interruptibility, same duplicate-launch claim.

The app info is prefetched in parallel and handed to launch_app, the
same contract as initgui's landing path, so the intro (which may need to
draw the arriving tile from it) never costs a second round-trip.

This also reverts 60686643b's anchor plumbing (UIWindow's
dashboard_tile_el option and the dashboard_tile_in_view export): the
intro installs a real tile for the by-app-name morph to find, so no
stand-in anchor is needed.
