Description

When generating a Project, we generate an id based on the name of the node (where the id is just a url safe slug). This is useful for users in CLI output.

But Lightning allows multiple nodes to have the same name!

So we need some resolution to enumerate nodes with the same name based on some deterministic means.

Research direction

Locate the Project-generation entry point and the logic that creates URL-safe IDs from node names. Inspect how Lightning represents nodes and how IDs appear in CLI output; done means same-name nodes receive distinct, deterministic IDs.
