Rename the frontend parsing module from `parseTaskText` to `quickAddMagic`
for clarity. The module handles much more than text parsing — it's the
core of the quick add magic feature. This rename makes its purpose
immediately obvious and aligns with how the feature is referenced
throughout the UI and documentation.
No logic changes — only directory/file renames and import updates.
Split the monolithic parseTaskText.ts into a parseTaskText/ directory with
separate files for types, prefixes, prefix parsing, priority parsing, repeat
parsing, date parsing, and text cleanup. Moved parseDate.ts from helpers/time/
into the module since it's only consumed by the task text parser. Barrel export
in index.ts maintains backward compatibility — no consumer import changes needed.

When the first regex match is a rejected middle-of-text date, continue
searching for subsequent matches instead of returning null. This fixes
cases like "The 9/11 Report due 10/12" where 9/11 is rejected but
10/12 at the end should still be parsed.
Reworked matchDateAtBoundary() to use a single regex pass instead of
two-pass start/end anchoring. Middle-of-text matches are now accepted
when followed by a time expression (at/@ prefix), so inputs like
"meeting 9/11 at 10:00" still parse correctly while "The 9/11 Report"
is rejected.
- Fixed date parser incorrectly extracting date components from within
words
- "Renovation - 2nd Floor Bath" no longer becomes "Reation - Floor Bath"
with a due date of November 2nd
## Changes
- `getMonthFromText` now requires word boundaries, preventing "nov" from
matching inside "Renovation" or "mar" inside "Remark"
- `getDayFromText` now only matches ordinals when followed by
end-of-string, time expressions, or month names, preventing "2nd Floor"
from being parsed as a date

The project grid on the home page with the recently visited projects now contains an even number of projects which makes for a much nicer grid (because it's now uniform).
