Parent: #343

Problem

The dashboard's "Create Worktree" modal creates a worktree but doesn't fully replicate what ./iw start does — specifically, it doesn't create a tmux session, doesn't register properly with the dashboard, and the resulting worktree may not be immediately usable in the same way.

Solution

Match ./iw start behavior — the dashboard create action should produce the same result as running ./iw start <issue-id> from the terminal
This likely means invoking ./iw start under the hood rather than reimplementing the logic
The UI should show progress/status during creation and handle errors gracefully
After creation, the new worktree should appear immediately in the dashboard with full functionality
