enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 5 808eba7292 feat(client/linux): bind a host to a profile, or connect with one just this once
The other half of P1 on GTK (design/client-settings-profiles.md §5.2): until now a
profile could be created and edited but only *used* through `--profile` or a URL. Host
cards get two menus, and they are separate on purpose — the predictability rule is that
connecting with a profile must never change what the card does next time.

- **Connect with ▸** is a one-off. It rides `ConnectRequest.profile` into the session's
  `--profile` flag and touches no stored state. "Default settings" in that menu is
  `Some("")`, not `None`: on a bound host, asking for the defaults is a real choice and
  has to survive as a value rather than degrade into "use the binding".
- **Default profile ▸** is the explicit rebinding act. It writes straight onto the host
  record — the binding IS a field there, so there is no map to keep in step — matched by
  fingerprint, else by address, like every other per-host lookup in this client.
- The card carries a **chip** naming its bound profile, so what a plain click will do is
  visible without opening a menu. A binding whose profile was deleted shows nothing and
  connects with the defaults, which is exactly what the resolver does.

A URL's `profile=` now takes the same one-off route, since it is the same kind of thing.

Verified on .21: `punktfunk://connect/Bound%20Box?profile=Work` against a host bound to
"Game" spawned a session that logged `profile=Work id=bbbbbbbbbbbb` — the one-off won,
and the binding on disk was untouched.
