Research direction

Start by reproducing the cloud-project workflow on Ubuntu 22.04 with Beta-3: upload a project, delete the local copy, then use “Open in Audacity” from the browser. Investigate the browser-to-desktop launch and cloud sync entry points. Done means the sync starts and the cloud project opens in Audacity.
