Summary

Creating a project in the desktop app required a custom name before Choose folder would enable. An empty name is a valid choice and means “name this project after the folder I pick.”

NewProjectDialog now submits with the name field empty. Choose folder stays available either way. A typed name is still trimmed and applied in the same projects.add step; a blank name is omitted so the existing folder-basename fallback in projects.add applies. The en / zh-CN / zh-TW copy no longer says the name has to come first.

Fixes #6047

Verification

  • npx biome check on the changed files
  • npm --workspace @maka/ui run build and node --test packages/ui/dist/__tests__/new-project-dialog.test.js (4 pass)
  • node --test packages/ui/dist/__tests__/conversation-copy.test.js (7 pass)
  • npm run check:locale-hygiene
  • Desktop renderer typecheck (tsc -p apps/desktop/tsconfig.renderer.json --noEmit)
  • node --test --test-force-exit apps/desktop/dist/main/__tests__/project-add-restore.test.js apps/desktop/dist/main/__tests__/task-entry-provider-scope.test.js apps/desktop/dist/main/__tests__/task-entry-controller.test.js (80 pass), including the new “Settings Add with a blank name still opens the folder picker” case

Not run: Electron desktop app / native folder picker. Those are not available in this environment; the behavior is covered by the dialog and Settings registration tests.

Does this PR entail a change in behavior?

  • Yes — described under Summary above
  • No

Creating a project required typing a name before Choose folder would
enable. An empty name is a valid choice: the catalog already names the
project after the folder when projects.add is called without one.

Leave the name field optional, keep Choose folder available, and pass a
trimmed name through only when one was typed. Update en / zh-CN / zh-TW
copy to match.

Thanks for following up. I'm closing this one for the same reason as #6059.

The tree of this PR's commit (de471c6e) is byte-for-byte identical to the tree of #6059's commit, which carried Generated-by: Cursor Grok 4.6. Only the commit message changed (the trailer was removed). Removing the trailer does not change where the code came from, so this is still a Grok-generated contribution, and the project cannot accept those until the legal-discuss question about Grok's Acceptable Use Policy is settled (see the note on #6059).

The fix itself for #6047 is welcome. If you would like to continue, please re-create the change with a different tool or by hand, and name the tool in the AI-use section of the PR description (it currently says generative tooling made a substantive contribution but does not say which). We will review it normally.
