Implementation Notes

Implementation Progress (2026-02-03)

• Fixed startup crash: App now starts without a project open (contexts are None)
• Fixed _on_open_project() to properly check OperationResult.is_success
• Added _wire_viewmodels() method to wire FileManagerViewModel after project opens
• Added E2E smoke tests in test_main_e2e.py:
• TestSmokeStartup: Verifies app starts without project
• TestSmokeProjectLifecycle: Tests project open flow

Files changed: - src/main.py - src/tests/e2e/test_main_e2e.py
