(feat) Customize default project name, update project file names from UUID to pretty name

[ItsEeleeya]

This PR adds a new recording setting: Default project name which allows for customizing the default project and file name using a custom template with placeholders. There are several place holders for different info about a recording, and a custom date placeholder which accepts a moment format. Renaming the project through the editor still has the same behavior, only the pretty name changes, not the actual name of the file.

There's a new module update_project_names which updates the name of all previous project files to use their pretty name instead. Once done, it adds uuid_projects_migrated to the data store.

Other changes:

• Added a little blur to the collapsible animation
• Fixed an issue with the reset button on the ExcludedWindowsCard in General Settings where the text would spill out on a certain viewport size.

Note: I'm not sure how to format the Cargo.toml file, I don't even know why it changed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Customizable default project name template in General Settings with live preview, save/reset.
  • Frontend can format project names used for recording names and UI labels.
  • One-time migration renames legacy UUID project folders to readable, sanitized names.

• Improvements

  • Automatic filename collision avoidance to ensure unique recording names.
  • Collapsible UI animations now include a subtle blur for smoother transitions.

• Tweaks

  • Clearer screen-capture target labels (Display / Window / Area).

Walkthrough

Adds project-name templating (moment-style → chrono), a TAURI command to format names, persisted default template setting and UI, a one-time migration renaming UUID project folders to sanitized unique names, utilities for token conversion and filename uniqueness (Aho‑Corasick), and small manifest/UI/type tweaks.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Workspace & root manifest Cargo.toml	Reflowed workspace.members to a multiline array; added aho-corasick = "1.1.4" to workspace dependencies and enabled chrono feature for specta.
Desktop app manifest apps/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml	Added dependencies: regex = "1.10.4", sanitize-filename = "0.6.0", and aho-corasick.workspace = true; minor formatting tweaks.
Settings storage apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/general_settings.rs	Added default_project_name_template: Option<String> with serde default and Default impl set to None.
TAURI wiring & startup apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/lib.rs	New format_project_name TAURI command; registered in commands and update_project_names::migrate_if_needed(&app) invoked during setup.
Project name formatting & recording flow apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/recording.rs	Added format_project_name function and integrated it to derive sanitized project_name (used for filenames, recording dirs, metadata, and instant upload pre-creation); uses Aho‑Corasick and chrono-format conversion.
Migration module apps/desktop/src-tauri/src/update_project_names.rs	New one-time migration: detect UUID-named projects (fast_is_project_filename_uuid), compute sanitized pretty names, ensure unique filenames, rename directories with concurrency control, logging, aggregation, and unit tests.
Frontend UI & bindings apps/desktop/src/routes/(window-chrome)/settings/general.tsx, apps/desktop/src/utils/tauri.ts	Added DefaultProjectNameCard UI with live preview/reset/save; added formatProjectName frontend TAURI binding and `defaultProjectNameTemplate?: string
Utilities crate crates/utils/Cargo.toml, crates/utils/src/lib.rs	Enabled aho-corasick workspace usage; added ensure_unique_filename / ensure_unique_filename_with_attempts and moment_format_to_chrono (Aho‑Corasick automaton) with tests.
Recording helper crates/recording/src/sources/screen_capture/mod.rs	Added pub fn kind_str(&self) -> &str on ScreenCaptureTarget.
UI config & types packages/ui-solid/tailwind.config.js, packages/ui-solid/src/auto-imports.d.ts	Added blur filter to collapsible keyframes; added IconCapAuto global declaration in auto-imports.d.ts.

Poem

🐇 I nibble tokens, stitch time into name,
Aho hops quick, replacing each plain,
UUID shells shelved for names that rhyme,
Sanitized and unique — tidy every time,
The rabbit saves defaults and hums a chime.
