feat: choose the startup query by namefeature/ui-state-persistence

The app opened whichever saved query sorted first alphabetically, which
is not a choice anyone made: [queries] is read through childKeys(), so
savedQueries().first() means "Flagged" before "Inbox" before "Unread"
rather than anything the user expressed.

[general] startup_query names the entry to open and defaults to Unread,
so a fresh install comes up on the unified unread list. Saved-query
button order is untouched and stays alphabetical.

A name matching no saved query falls back to the first one rather than
starting with an empty view. That is reported as a problem only when the
user actually wrote the name; the built-in default naming a query they
never created is not something they got wrong, and warning about it
would fire on every launch of a config that has no Unread entry.

 Do not build a full account sidebar for this. Persisting the selection may
 resolve the complaint entirely, and it is a fraction of the work. Reassess after.
 
+### Partly done
+
+**The startup query is now chosen by name**, not by sort order. `[queries]` is
+read through `childKeys()`, which sorts alphabetically, so the old
+`savedQueries().first()` opened whichever entry happened to sort first, which
+is why the app came up on Inbox. `[general] startup_query` names the entry,
+defaults to `Unread`, and falls back to the first saved query when the name
+matches nothing. Only a name the user wrote is worth a warning: the built-in
+default naming a query they never created is not something they got wrong.
+
+Neither half of item 10 proper is done: the account selection still resets on
+restart, and reaching an account's inbox is still two steps. Persisting the
+selection remains the next cheap step, and the reassessment the item calls for
+should happen after that rather than now.
