fix(agent): preserve uploads during app bootstrap

[iamjr15]

Summary

• preserves /uploads when the first template workspace is scaffolded
• recognizes both src/app and app Expo Router layouts so valid projects are restored
• reuses an existing pnpm installation and only installs when node_modules/.pnpm is missing

Context

Direct production QA showed a successful upload and visible composer chip, followed by an app-builder run that deleted the uploaded file and performed a redundant dependency install. The install then failed before the model could read the file.

Decisions

Decision	Choice	Reasoning
Upload persistence	Exclude uploads from first-run template cleanup	The project volume and R2 file record remain authoritative across chats
Workspace detection	Accept src/app and app	Both supported template layouts are valid and must not trigger destructive bootstrap
Dependency restore	Install only when the pnpm virtual store is absent	Persistent project workspaces should not reinstall on every prompt

Edge cases

• first prompt uploads survive template scaffolding
• existing Expo projects using either Router layout avoid destructive reset
• missing dependency stores still take the existing install/recovery path
• imported repository reset behavior is unchanged

Verification

• pnpm turbo typecheck lint build — 76/76 tasks passed
• production migration verifier already passes against the single migration file
• repeat direct production upload, later-reference, and agent-read QA after deploy

No Linear issue or plan document is associated with this production QA fix.
