The "Link Existing" case picker opens with an empty path and no
sessionId, so the browse endpoint's fallback root picked whichever
root happened to be first in the list — which was always `Home`.
On the native default that's harmless (~/codeman-cases nests inside
Home anyway), but a Docker deployment binds CODEMAN_APPDATA_PATH
(Home) and CODEMAN_CASES_PATH at unrelated host paths, so the picker
opened somewhere with no cases in sight. Worse: if CODEMAN_CASES_PATH
is ever changed after cases already exist, the old cases directory
lingers, still reachable, under Home — indistinguishable at a glance
from the real one under the new Codeman Cases root.
Prefer the Codeman Cases root in the fallback chain, ahead of the
generic roots[0].
