[Feature Request] Ability to set a default environment #974

Description

Problem statement

I have two environments in Dockhand. One is my primary workspace, while the other is a secondary virtual machine that is usually powered off.

The problem is that every time I log into Dockhand, it automatically selects the secondary (inactive) environment by default. This forces me to manually switch to my primary environment every single time, which is quite frustrating and slows down the workflow.

Proposed solution

I would like to have an option to manually set a "Default Environment." This could be a toggle or a star icon in the environment settings/list. Once an environment is marked as default, Dockhand should automatically select it upon login or application startup.

Alternatives considered

An alternative solution could be "Remember last used environment," so the application opens the environment that was active during the previous session. However, an explicit "Set as Default" option would be more predictable and reliable.

Additional context

This feature would be very helpful for users who manage multiple clusters or environments where some are temporary or not always online. Thank you for your work on this project!
