Description
Follow-up from PR #155 (ARIA correctness).
The form error wiring in that PR gives every error `
` an id and points the control at it with `aria-describedby`. Several of those ids are hardcoded string literals — `title-error`, `slug-error`, and siblings in ProjectEdit, ProjectBuzzNew, TagEditModal, etc. When a screen and a modal that both use one of those ids are mounted at the same time (e.g. ProjectEdit with PostHelpWantedModal open), the ids collide and `aria-describedby` can resolve to the wrong element.
Derive the ids from `useId()` (as SearchBox and TagPicker already do) so each mounted form instance owns unique ids. Consider a tiny helper so the `${id}-error` convention stays in one place.

Research direction
Start by locating the form error wiring in ProjectEdit, ProjectBuzzNew, TagEditModal, and related components, then compare the existing useId usage in SearchBox and TagPicker. Centralize or consistently derive each error id from the form instance, and verify that simultaneously mounted forms have unique ids and matching aria-describedby references.
