docs: mark Phase 12 (Project Management) as complete

Completed features:
- IndexedDB project storage with full serialization
- Projects dialog UI for managing projects
- Auto-save (3-second debounce, silent)
- Manual save with Ctrl+S keyboard shortcut
- Auto-load last project on startup
- Editable project name in header
- Delete and duplicate project functionality
- Project metadata tracking (created/updated timestamps)

Phase 12.3 (Export/Import JSON) remains for future implementation.
