Files can now be opened without a project. A file dropped on the Welcome screen, picked with File › Open File…, or passed on the command line or to a second instance opens in a lightweight window: editor tabs only, with no project tree, indexing, language servers, VCS or project tool windows. Syntax highlighting, find, save, undo and Local History still work. More files opened later join the same window as new tabs. Open as Project in the status bar opens the file's directory as a full project, following the open-project policy, and reopens the file there.
Backend: a light session reuses Project with an unindexed index, no LSP or VCS, and a flat watch on each opened file's directory. It is never reused as a project for the same root. Previously a file passed at launch opened its parent directory as a project.

- Project widget initials follow IDEA's AvatarUtils.initials ("idea" → "I").
- "Show directories with changed descendants" is off by default, as in IDEA.
- FileEntry gains `excluded`: only excluded folders get the excluded icon and
dimming; git-ignored ones keep the plain icon and the ignored colour.
- `.github` folders get IDEA's GitHub folder icon.
- Matched tag names are never bold and use their own background
(MATCHED_TAG_NAME); matched braces are bold in dark schemes only.
- Revert Greyscale antialiasing to `antialiased` for UI and editor; `auto`
rendered text heavier than PyCharm.

Use the Windows wrapper name for Maven, compare walked paths with `/`,
relax the own-process footprint floor, skip tests that assert Unix paths
or shells on Windows, and stop Git converting fixture line endings in CI.
