feat: improve create-project flow with clear project type split (#12)

[CHY9213]

Summary

Replaced the 6-category project type grid (Web Development, Mobile, AI/ML, etc.) with two clear options:

1. New Project - brand-new project or idea that needs work from scratch
2. Bug Fix - fix an issue in an existing repository

Changes

frontend/src/App.vue

• Updated projectTypeOptions to two objects: 'New Project' and 'Bug Fix'
• Made project type tiles bigger (2-column layout, 110px height, larger font)
• Tech stack placeholder changes based on selected type
• Attach repository section shows only when 'Bug Fix' is selected
• Added new-project hint text when 'New Project' is selected
• Added projectType to submission payload
• Updated placeholder text for title and description based on type

frontend/src/styles.css

• Added .project-type-split (2-column grid, max-width 520px)
• Added .select-tile-big (larger tiles, bigger text)
• Added .new-project-hint styles

Code Review

• Files changed: 2 (frontend/src/App.vue +49/-15, frontend/src/styles.css likely)
• Changes summary:
  1. Project type split: Replaced 6-category grid (Web Dev, Mobile, AI/ML, etc.) with 2 clear options: "New Project" and "Bug Fix"
  2. Contextual placeholders: Input fields change placeholder text based on selected type (e.g., "Briefly describe the bug" vs "Enter a clear project title")
  3. Conditional sections: "Attach repository" section only shows for Bug Fix type (marked required with *); "New Project" shows a description hint instead
  4. Visual improvements: Bigger tiles (2-column layout, select-tile-big class), larger icons (24px vs 18px), larger check marks (20px vs 16px)
  5. projectTypeOptions reduced from 6 items to 2
• Correctness: The simplified flow directly addresses issue [3000 MRG] Improve create-project flow for new projects and existing bug fixes #12 (improve create-project flow). The conditional UI based on project type is a good UX pattern — Bug Fix users need repo attachment, New Project users need ideation guidance.
• ⚠️ Notes:
  1. "Attach repository" is now required (*) for Bug Fix — this is a breaking change for existing behavior. Verify this is intentional.
  2. The 6 removed project type options (Web Development, Mobile, AI/ML, DevOps, Design, Other) may have downstream dependencies (analytics, categorization) — worth confirming no backend references these types.
• Scope: All changes relate to the project creation flow. References issue [3000 MRG] Improve create-project flow for new projects and existing bug fixes #12 (3000 MRG bounty).

Evidence Check

• PR body includes clear summary and change breakdown
• No visual screenshots/GIF showing the new 2-option split UI — evidence missing for a significant UI redesign

Recommendation

✅ Approve with suggestions — Good UX simplification. Suggest: (1) Confirm "Attach repository required" is intentional for Bug Fix; (2) Verify no backend/analytics dependencies on removed project types; (3) Add screenshots showing the new 2-option project type split.

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 still appears to leave the repo-import path on the old Repo Issue Fix value while the UI introduces New Project / Bug Fix. That creates inconsistent state after a successful import and undercuts the main #12 requirement.

Please update repo import and all submitted/evaluation payload fields to use the new taxonomy consistently, then attach runtime evidence for both flows.

[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.
