description: App session browser should support 3 display modes - right panel, full overlay, and fullscreen - with a persistent setting

App session views (the built-in browser for launching apps) should support three display modes, controlled by a setting dropdown in the header bar:

1. **Display in right panel** — app loads inside the dashboard's right content area (sidebar visible)
2. **Display over whole app** — app overlays the entire viewport including sidebar (like old AppLauncherOverlay with `fixed inset-0 z-[2400]`)
3. **Open fullscreen** — uses browser Fullscreen API for true fullscreen

**Why:** The user likes the right-panel approach (screenshot showed it working well) but also wants the option to go full overlay or fullscreen. The setting should persist (localStorage) and apply to all apps globally.

**How to apply:** Store the preference in localStorage. The header bar should have a dropdown/toggle with icons for the three modes. Default to "right panel" mode.
