[Bug]: "No project" label is shortened to "No …ect" on the new-thread screen #21347

Before submitting

• I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
• I included enough detail to reproduce or investigate the problem.

Area

apps/web

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the new-thread screen.
2. Start a thread without a project (the "or start without a project" link, or the New thread without project shortcut).
3. Look at the project picker under "What should we work on?".

Expected behavior

The picker reads "No project" in full. It is a short label and there is plenty of room for it.

Actual behavior

The picker reads "No …ect", whatever the window width.

From reading the code, I think two changes merged on 2026-10-18 combine to cause this:

• fix(web): truncate project names only when needed #17208 capped the picker button at max-w-[calc(100%-1em)] (DraftHeroHeadline.tsx#L258) to leave room for the trailing "?" in "What should we build in {project}?".
• In the no-project case the same picker renders alone in the subtitle <p className="mt-2 flex h-6 items-center"> (L370-L371), with no "?" after it. That <p> sits in an items-center column, so it is only as wide as its content. The cap therefore always works out about 1em narrower than "No project".
• fix(web): truncate draft project names in the middle #18858 added DraftProjectName, which measures the container's width and shortens the name in the middle to fit (DraftProjectName.tsx#L23). It sees the capped width and produces "No …ect".

A possible fix is to apply the 1em cap only when the picker sits inside the headline next to the "?". I haven't tested that.

None needed. The picker still works; only its label is cut short.
