🚀 New Features

Enhanced Customization Options

We've added several new customization options to make Project Launcher more flexible and adaptable to your workflow:

• Adjustable Cache Duration: Set how long search results are cached to optimize performance (default: 30 seconds)
• Configurable Results Limit: Choose how many projects to display in the results list (default: 10 results)
• Debounce Delay Control: Fine-tune the typing response sensitivity (default: 0.4 seconds)
