DottaandPaperclip 3e31bf09bc [codex] Add pipeline automation title templates (#8787)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Pipeline automations let operators standardize repeated issue and
workflow actions.
> - Pipeline-created issues currently need a way to derive useful titles
from routine variables.
> - Without a configurable title template, automated pipeline output is
harder to scan and distinguish.
> - This pull request adds a title-template field through shared
contracts, server persistence, API routes, and the pipeline settings UI.
> - The benefit is clearer issue titles for pipeline-created work while
preserving the existing pipeline behavior when no template is
configured.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #8790

This PR adds configurable generated-issue title templates for pipeline
automations.

## What Changed

- Added `issueTitleTemplate` to the shared pipeline automation contract
and field constants.
- Persisted and returned the title template through pipeline service and
route code.
- Applied title-template rendering when pipeline automations create
issue work.
- Added pipeline settings UI controls for editing the title template and
reusing routine variables.
- Moved title-token cursor restoration out of the React state updater
and into a layout effect.
- Added server and UI coverage for storing, returning, and rendering
pipeline title templates.

## Verification

- `NODE_ENV=test pnpm run preflight:workspace-links && NODE_ENV=test
pnpm exec vitest run server/src/__tests__/pipelines-service.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/pipelines-routes.test.ts
ui/src/pages/PipelineSettings.test.ts`
- Result before review follow-up: 3 files passed, 58 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui exec vitest run
src/pages/PipelineSettings.test.ts`
- Result after review follow-up: 1 file passed, 7 tests passed.
- Branch was merged with current `paperclipai:master` at `f019f54bb3`
before opening this PR.
- Searched existing PRs for the same head branch and for pipeline
title-template duplicates; no matching existing PR was found.
- Note: GitHub could not open a PR directly from `cryppadotta/paperclip`
because that repository is not a fork of `paperclipai/paperclip`. The
same updated branch SHA was pushed to `paperclipai/paperclip` so this PR
can compare normally against `master`.

## Risks

Low to moderate risk. The change touches pipeline automation persistence
and generated issue creation, so regressions would most likely appear as
missing or incorrectly rendered generated issue titles. Existing
behavior should remain unchanged when `issueTitleTemplate` is unset.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-5-based coding agent, tool-enabled execution in a
Paperclip heartbeat, with repository inspection, Git, GitHub CLI, and
local test execution.
