Bounty #12: Improve create-project flow for new projects and existing bug fixes

Changes Made

Replaced 6 generic project types with 2 clear, bounty-specified options:

1. 🆕 New project — Build something from scratch (FolderPlus icon)
2. 🐛 Fix bug in existing project — Fix an issue in an existing codebase (Bug icon)

Implementation Details

Requirement	Status
Users can select either "New project" or "Fix bug in existing project"	✅
Selected type included in submitted project payload	✅ project_type field added to submit handlers
Dynamic placeholders matching selected type	✅
No dummy content — realistic placeholders	✅
Responsive layout preserved	✅ No CSS changes
Existing routes/links/buttons still work	✅
Build passes (client + SSR)	✅ Verified locally

Dynamic Placeholders

Selected Type	Title Placeholder	Description Placeholder
New project	"Enter your project name"	"Describe what you want to build..."
Fix bug in existing project	"What bug needs fixing?"	"Describe the bug and where it occurs..."

This PR replaces previous attempts (#90, #91, #92) that had build failures and incomplete implementations. This version uses proper taste-aware code generation and preserves all existing functionality.

Thanks for the PR. For bounty review, please add verification evidence in this PR before final review:

• screenshot, GIF, or video showing the changed flow/UI
• the test/build command(s) you ran and the result
• any relevant edge cases or viewport sizes checked

Evidence can be attached in a PR comment; images in comments count. If this PR has the star: missing label, please also star this repository so bounty eligibility can be verified.

Not ready for bounty acceptance yet.

This is one of the closer #12 implementations because it updates the repo-import path, but bounty review is still blocked by missing star verification and missing runtime evidence. Please star the repo and attach screenshots/GIF/video for the New Project path and the Bug Fix/repo-import path.

After that, this can be reviewed again against the product flow.

[TUPM96]

Thanks for the contribution and for moving this bounty forward. We accepted PR #109 for issue #12 after a small maintainer follow-up, and this PR is now superseded by the merged implementation on master. Closing to keep the queue clean. For the next bounty, please rebase on latest master and include clear runtime evidence/screenshots so review can move faster.
