feat(cli): send the project name as logicalId on project create

[kristof-siket]

Why

The Prisma Data Platform records a declared identity, logicalId, on projects. The rule is that only a declaration assigns a logical id. prisma project create <name> is a user explicitly naming a project, so it counts as a declaration. This is the CLI half of the platform change in prisma/pdp-control-plane#5480. The Management API already accepts logicalId on POST /v1/projects in production.

What changed

• project create sends the name as logicalId when the name fits the format the API validates for a project logical id: ^[a-z0-9][-_a-z0-9]*$ (from ProjectCreateInputSchema in services/management-api/models/v1/projects.ts; there is no length limit). A name outside that format creates the project as before, with no logicalId, no error, and no warning.
• The app provider now posts to /v1/projects itself. ComputeClient.createProject in @prisma/compute-sdk 0.43.0 (the latest release) does not forward logicalId. The request body is otherwise the same (name, createDatabase: false, region). A failed request still surfaces the API's message, and it now keeps the HTTP status on the error, so the existing 401/403 permission fix keeps working.
• project link is unchanged. It sends no logicalId when it creates a project from the picker.
• A second project create with the same logical id in a workspace returns 409 (A project with logicalId "<name>" already exists in this workspace). The existing PROJECT.CREATE_FAILED mapping already shows that reason and points at project list and project link, so no new error handling was added.

Tests

• New unit tests in packages/cli/tests/project.test.ts:
  • a valid name sends logicalId
  • names that do not fit the format (My App, My-App, _app, app.v2) send none
  • a 409 maps to PROJECT.CREATE_FAILED with the API's reason
• The project link picker test now checks the exact request body, so it fails if link ever sends a logicalId.
• pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck, and pnpm --filter @prisma/cli test (64 files, 1027 passed, 2 skipped) all pass.
• The e2e suite needs PRISMA_E2E_SERVICE_TOKEN, which was not available locally, so it runs in CI only. Its scratch project names are lowercase and unique, so they now also send a logicalId against the real API.

Closing without merging. A project's logical id is assigned only by a declaration, such as a Composer module or the Console connect flow. project create writes no declaration, so it should leave the logical id null. Composer still finds a project created this way by its display name. The Composer import plan in prisma/pdp-control-plane is being updated to match.
