Description

**Mood:** 😊
**Category:** General

Your automations section is nice but man does it lack important features:

1) Provide a list view with columns. Its impossible to get a grasp on the automations once you create more then 4-5.

2) Automations should be assignable to a list of projects. I end up repeating the same "Repo Audit" to multiple projects which is both annoying and impossible to maintain.

3) I had a strange bug where I created an automation that didn't have a project assigned and it could've caused havoc the way it was phrased if done across multiple repos (we have hundreds of repos). So when I tried to assign a project to the automation it didn't persist. It did run once and I interrupted the run in case that matters. I had to delete and redo the automation to get a project attached.

4) Improve the context menu on the automations.

Research direction

Start at the /workflows entry point and reproduce the project-assignment persistence problem described for version 1.0.2 on Windows. Clarify the scope of the requested list view, multi-project assignment, safer handling of unassigned projects, and context-menu improvements before implementation; done would require all four behaviors to work without regressions.
