landon 7854a961a9 Bundle the project template into the binary; add outline-to-draft
links, a sprint timer, placeholder scanning, corkboard, and a
quick-capture inbox

- Compile templates/snowflake into the binary via include_dir, so New
  project… never depends on files installed beside the executable;
  Settings ▸ Template becomes an optional external override, and a
  broken saved override now falls back to the bundled template
  instead of failing project generation.
- Outline beats now link to a matching chapter for a one-click jump.
- Sprint window: a daily whole-manuscript word goal plus a
  Pomodoro-style writing sprint timer, with a compact countdown in the
  status bar while in Distraction-free mode.
- Placeholders window: find [TODO]/[TK]/[FIXME]/[XXX]/[NOTE]/[???]
  markers left in the draft and jump straight to any of them.
- Snowflake progress strip in the file panel: a nudge-only readout of
  which snowflake stage folders actually have content.
- Corkboard window: drag-reorderable synopsis cards, one per chapter.
- Quick-capture popup (Ctrl+Shift+N): jot a stray idea straight into
  the project's Scratch Pad without losing your place in the draft.

//! Project scaffolding from templates using MiniJinja.
//!
//! This module replaces the cookiecutter dependency by providing native Rust
//! templating for project generation. It uses MiniJinja which is Jinja2-compatible,
//! so existing cookiecutter templates (like snowflake) work with minimal changes.
//!
//! The default (bundled) template's files are compiled into the binary via
//! [`BUNDLED_SNOWFLAKE`], so **File ▸ New project…** works out of the box —
//! no `templates/` folder has to be installed beside the executable. A writer
//! can still point at a folder of their own (`Settings ▸ New project… ▸
//! Template`) to use a customized copy instead; see [`TemplateSource`].
