**Feature request: Allow creating projects from chat/CLI**

I just forked and cloned a repo using Copilot CLI tools (`gh repo fork`, `gh repo clone`), but then hit a wall — there's no way to register it as a project without switching to the UI. A `create_project` tool (accepting a local path or GitHub repo URL) would let the agent complete the full workflow end-to-end: fork → clone → add project → create session → start working. The current gap breaks the flow and forces a context switch for what should be a one-command operation.

Start by tracing the /chat flow and the existing UI path for registering a cloned repository as a project. Compare the required inputs—a local path or GitHub repository URL—with the current fork → clone → add project → create session workflow. Done means a create_project entry point can register either input and continue the workflow end to end.
