+- Summary projects get a name. The first summary that sees a project asks the model for a short,
+  readable name ("AI Adoption Onboarding" instead of `~/Documents/Claude/Projects/AI Adoption
+  Onboarding task`), saves it and keeps it, so it never changes between runs; the project's path
+  still shows beside it and its topics stay where they are. A second checkout of the same repository
+  is told apart by its owner folder. If naming fails the path shows, and the next run tries again.
+  `get_summary` returns the name and filters by name or path.
