Description
App names should be Title Cased, and we should encourage that during app init. Instead of a kebab-cased random word name (adaptive-vertical-supply), we should default to a title cased random word name (Adaptive Vertical Supply). In doing so though we should also show the resulting folder name as the user types. This reinforces that
- we aren’t going to use spaces in the generated file paths, and
- if you provide your own name here, it should be the user-facing name
This change is intended to improve the quality of App Store submissions.

Research direction
Start at the app init entry point and run the command to observe the current random name and name prompt behavior. Update the flow so generated app names are title cased and the resulting folder name is shown while typing; verify the prompt communicates the user-facing name and space-free paths.
