Subject: [PATCH] fix(ui): report ambiguity on partial process name match

When multiple processes match a partial --app query and all have
visible windows, the code silently fell through to title search
which then failed with a misleading 'No running app found' error.

Now it throws a clear error listing the matching PIDs and titles,
consistent with the exact-name-match path.
