jelveh f89b3a888a feat(gui): start the tile open-morph on click, before the launch fetches
A fresh launch has a server round-trip (app info, signing) between the
click and the window's creation, so the open morph used to start late —
on a slow connection the click gave no feedback at all. The two halves
of the morph are now decoupled:

- On click, begin_dashboard_tile_launch starts the icon's half
  immediately: the ghost enlarges in place and dissolves exactly as
  before, and the real icon stays hidden — the empty slot reads as
  'launching' — while the fetches run.
- When the window opens, morph_window_from_tile claims the click-time
  ghost instead of spawning a second one, runs the window half alone,
  and restores the icon when it lands. On a fast launch the halves
  overlap into one motion; on a slow one the window zooms out of the
  empty slot.
- settle_dashboard_tile_launch (in the launch's finally) puts the icon
  back whenever the window never claims it: launch failed, app opened
  in background, or the morph fell back to the plain fade. The launch
  also gained a .catch, so a failed launch logs instead of leaking an
  unhandled rejection.

The un-minimize path has no fetch and is untouched: it still spawns its
own ghost inside the morph.
