fix(ui): prevent rename input from losing focus when triggered via context menu

[arnestrickmann]

Summary

• Fixes task rename failing when initiated from the right-click context menu
• Adds a blur guard mechanism to prevent the Radix context menu close animation (~150ms) and focus restoration from stealing focus away from the rename input
• The onBlur handler now checks the guard ref and re-focuses the input if the blur was caused by the context menu dismissal rather than a genuine focus loss
• Also adds onMouseDown={stopPropagation} to prevent click events on the input from bubbling up to parent handlers

Fixes GEN-428

Greptile Summary

Implements a blur guard mechanism to fix task rename failing when triggered from the right-click context menu. The solution prevents the Radix context menu's close animation (~150ms) and focus restoration from stealing focus away from the rename input.

Changes:

• Added blurGuardRef and blurGuardTimerRef to track and manage focus state
• Modified handleStartEdit to activate guard for 300ms when editing begins
• Updated onBlur handler to detect and recover from context menu-induced blur events by re-focusing the input
• Added onMouseDown={stopPropagation} to prevent click events from bubbling to parent handlers
• Properly disables guard in handleCancelEdit and handleConfirmEdit

Issues:

• Missing timer cleanup on component unmount (minor best practice issue)

Confidence Score: 4/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk - it fixes a specific UI bug without affecting other functionality
• The blur guard implementation is well-designed and correctly handles the focus issue. The logic properly accounts for edge cases (Enter/Escape keys, confirm/cancel actions). The only issue is a minor best practice violation (missing timer cleanup on unmount), which won't cause functional problems but should be addressed for consistency with the codebase.
• No files require special attention - the change is focused and well-contained
