Harden and parallelize session listing

Replace deprecated fs.exists with stat, wrap git calls in try/catch
to gracefully degrade to "idle" for inaccessible worktrees, and load
all projects concurrently in loadAll. Also fix stale-lock retry in
withGlobalLock to re-attempt mkdir immediately after cleanup.
