Fix project name prompt placeholder leak

[tannerlinsley]

Summary

Fixes the interactive project-name prompt so pressing Enter for the current directory no longer lets the placeholder text leak into validation.

Details

The prompt used Clack's placeholder for the current-directory hint. In this edge case, the placeholder could be treated like input after Enter, then validated as a project name and duplicated in the prompt output. The hint now lives in the prompt message, and the project-name prompt no longer sets a placeholder.

Validation

• pnpm --filter @tanstack/cli test -- ui-prompts
• pnpm --filter @tanstack/cli build
• Commit hook: nx run-many --target=build --parallel 5
• Commit hook: pnpm test:unit && pnpm test:e2e

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Enhanced the project name prompt messaging to provide clearer guidance during setup. The prompt now explicitly indicates that you can leave the name field empty to use the current directory as your project location, making this functionality more discoverable and intuitive for new users.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates the interactive prompt message for project name input in the TanStack CLI from "What would you like to name your project?" to "Project name (leave empty to use current directory)", with the placeholder text removed. The corresponding test assertions are updated to validate the new prompt text and expect no placeholder.

Poem

🐰 A prompt so clear, a message bright,
"Leave it blank," we say, "and all is right!
The current home, just waiting there,
No extra text to fill the air—
A simpler ask, a gentler care! ✨
