Description
Context
After #4670, /settings/projects is where superusers go to cancel or hard-delete scheduled-for-deletion sandboxes. The page treats sandboxes and root projects identically: flat list, no parent column, single name-search filter. With many sandboxes in a workspace, finding the right row means knowing the name exactly.
Proposal
- Distinguish sandboxes visually. Either a "Sandbox" badge with the parent name next to it, or a dedicated parent column.
- Show relationships. Group sandboxes under their root (indent, or sort by root then name).
- More filters. "Only root projects", "only sandboxes", "only scheduled for deletion".
Notes
- Admin-only page, so the polish bar is lower than user-facing surfaces. The recovery flow lives here though, so it matters when something is wrong.
- Grouping or hierarchy is a bigger UI swing than a badge or filter. Worth a scope conversation before someone picks this up.

Research direction
Start at the /settings/projects page and inspect the existing projects listing, search, and filter entry points. Resolve whether the scope is visual sandbox distinction, hierarchy, or additional filters before coding; done means superusers can reliably distinguish roots and sandboxes and find scheduled-for-deletion sandboxes.
