The archive ("Search all threads") view's filter matched only the
thread title, so typing a project name (e.g. "sync-wave-studio") never
surfaced that project's threads even though the project label is shown
right under each title. The filter now also tries matching the basename
of each of the thread's worktree paths, mirroring the sidebar's
project-name match.

…8214) Summary: When you have a lot of projects open, finding a thread from a specific project in the archive ("Search all threads") view is slower than it should be — the filter only matches the thread title, so you have to remember or scan titles to find what belongs to which project. Folder names are a quicker mental handle than thread titles, especially across many projects. This PR makes the archive filter also try matching the basename of each of the thread's worktree paths. Title matches still take precedence and get the highlight positions; project-name matches just include the row. Same `fuzzy_match_positions` contiguous substring matcher already used for titles, so the matching feel is consistent. Example: typing `my-laravel-project` now surfaces every thread that lives under a project named `my-laravel-project`, regardless of title. Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments — N/A - [x] The content is consistent with the [UI/UX checklist](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) - [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior — small extension to an existing filter branch; manually verified. - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable — per-row path-basename check only runs when the title didn't match. Release Notes: - Improved the archive "Search all threads" view so you can filter by project name, not just by thread title — handy when many projects are open. --------- Co-authored-by: Danilo Leal <daniloleal09@gmail.com>
