Unix domain socket paths must fit into sockaddr_un.sun_path (108 bytes on Linux, 104 on macOS). In deeply nested projects the path to .pm.sock exceeded that limit, so binding/connecting failed with EINVAL (or ENOENT when the path got truncated). Add src/utils/socket.ts, which opens the socket with a path relative to its directory (temporarily switching the cwd) whenever the absolute path is too long, and use it for both the daemon's listen and the clients' connect.

Instead of deciding per call whether the absolute socket path still fits into sockaddr_un and temporarily switching the cwd around bind()/connect(), the CLI commands now change into the project root - like the daemon already did - and always refer to the socket by its plain file name. Also raise the default per-command timeout of the e2e helper, 1s is not enough for the daemon auto-start on slow machines.

The helper derives the project root from the config file, it has nothing to do with sockets. With it living next to loadConfig the socket file can simply be referenced by its plain name again, so the socket util file is gone.

Shut down the daemon started in the long directory in a finally block, afterEach only takes care of the one in tmpDir. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01E17p2FNAxnWQEmZ1XMJ1yu

Summary
Fixed an issue where the dev-pm daemon would fail to start or connect when the project path is too long. Unix domain socket paths must fit into
sockaddr_un.sun_path(108 bytes on Linux, 104 bytes on macOS), and deeply nested projects would exceed this limit when using absolute paths.Key Changes
