When a project has a subpath configured (e.g., builderbot/staged), actions like justfile commands were running from the worktree root instead of the subfolder where the justfile actually lives. Both run_branch_action and run_prerun_actions now use get_branch_working_dir() to resolve the effective working directory (worktree + project subpath), consistent with how AI sessions and notes already handle this.

Summary
Fixes branch actions (both prerun and manual) to execute from the correct working directory when a project is configured with a subpath, ensuring build tools like
justcan find their configuration files.Changes
Context
When a project lives in a subdirectory of a repository (e.g., a monorepo), actions were previously executed from the worktree root. This meant tools like
justcouldn't locate theirjustfilebecause they were running one or more directories above where the build files actually live. Now actions useget_branch_working_dir, which already knows how to resolve the full path including any configured project subpath.
