Pull request overview

This PR fixes an issue with opening projects in PowerShell on Windows. The problem was that the previous implementation used the generic openerOpenPath for PowerShell, which didn't properly handle the path when opening the terminal. The fix introduces a dedicated PowerShell handler that correctly sets the working directory before launching the shell.

Changes:

• Moved resolvedApp calculation after resolvedPath in the openPath function to ensure paths are resolved before app detection
• Added PowerShell detection logic to intercept PowerShell launches and use a custom handler
• Created a new Tauri command open_in_powershell that spawns PowerShell with the correct working directory
