Erich Blume fc25f6ac51 feat: --project arg is case-insensitive / prefix-fuzzy when unambiguous
The `--project <name>` argument matched titles case-sensitively and
exactly, so `--project hephaestus` or `--project heph` failed against a
`Hephaestus` project. Make project-name resolution forgiving but
deterministic, via a tiered match in `resolve_project_id`:

  1. exact (case-sensitive) — the historical behavior; always wins
  2. case-insensitive exact — only when unambiguous
  3. case-insensitive prefix — only when unambiguous

Ambiguous fuzzy matches resolve to None (callers report "no project
named X") rather than silently picking one. This single resolver already
backed `heph list --project` (via project_scope); route the CLI's
task/edit/promote/parent path through it too with a new `project.resolve`
RPC + `Store::resolve_project`, so every `--project` surface behaves the
same.

--project <name> is now case-insensitive and prefix-fuzzy when unambiguous, across heph task, heph edit, heph promote, heph list, and project-parent resolution. --project heph or --project hephaestus both resolve Hephaestus. An exact (case-sensitive) title always wins outright, and an ambiguous prefix (e.g. Wor matching both Work and Workshop) resolves to nothing rather than silently picking one. A new project.resolve RPC backs the shared resolver.
