Subject: [PATCH] fix: board and workspace URL links and copy behavior (#357)

- Use /boards/{id} for private board links so copied link works; keep pretty URL for public boards
- Show matching path in board header (pretty path for public, boards/id for private)
- Copy link button copies URL to clipboard instead of opening in new tab (opening a new tab seems redundant since we're already on it)
- Edit workspace URL button links to /settings/workspace instead of account settings
