Require at least one task when creating a project - #186

The volunteer "Suggest a Project" flow already rejected empty task lists server-side; admin-created org projects did not, and instead started in a needs_tasks status. Close that gap so both paths require at least one task up front, so no project needs tasks immediately after creation.

Both call sites always passed requireTasks, so the prop no longer distinguished any real case — make the requirement unconditional instead of a flag every caller had to remember to set.

Task completion never re-evaluates project status, so a project can sit in_progress indefinitely after its last task is done. Surface these in the triage page so admins can close them out or add tasks.

Summary
Suggest a Project) already enforced this server-side, but admin-created organisation projects did not and could start in aneeds_tasksstatus. Admin org projects now require ≥1 task too, and always startin_progress—needs_tasksis no longer reachable at creation time on either path.ProjectForm(required-field styling + client-side validation) instead of being gated behind arequireTasksprop that every caller had to remember to pass — both call sites always needed it, so the prop was removed.in_progressproject can end up with zero open tasks (last task completed or deleted) and just sit there. Addedadmin.projects.staleInProgressand a "No Open Tasks" tab on the triage page so admins can find these and close them out or add more work.Test plan
