Generate shorter, task-shaped workspace titles

Browse Source 
Auto-generated titles were full sentences that overflowed the sidebar.
The titling prompt now targets ~4 words, drops generic "do" verbs (Fix,
Add, Diagnose...), and keeps only specific operation verbs, with good and
bad examples.

Title: a short human-readable sentence-case label for the task (no slug rules, max 80 characters). Title: a terse, task-shaped label naming what the task is about (sentence case, max 80 characters).
Aim for about 4 words. Go longer only when the task genuinely needs it; most titles must stay short.
Do not start with a generic 'do' verb (Fix, Add, Implement, Diagnose, Update, Change, Create, Set, Make) — every task is implicitly one of these, so the verb is noise. Name the thing instead.
Keep a verb only when it states the specific operation (Swap, Split, Extract, Rename, Merge, Inline).
Good titles: "Swap sidebar history icon", "Composer keyboard shift", "Agent auto-titling", "Worktree selection memory", "Split browser pane".
Bad titles: "Fix composer pushed up by keyboard in workspace", "Diagnose auto-titling still happening for agents", "Change sidebar history icon from clock to history icon".
Branch: concise lowercase slug using letters, numbers, hyphens, and slashes only. Branch: concise lowercase slug using letters, numbers, hyphens, and slashes only.
