Severity: medium

In the Create Space modal, the slug auto-derived from the name is wrong for any multi-word name: it emits the uppercase first letter of each word (initials) instead of a kebab slug.

Where: apps/client/src/lib/utils.tsx:25 — computeSpaceSlug maps each word to word.charAt(0).toUpperCase() and joins (looks like the avatar-initials helper is reused).

Repro (live, Create Space → type into Name, read Slug):

Name	Slug generated	Expected
`Product Team`	`PT`	`product-team`
`Hello World`	`HW`	`hello-world`
`SingleWord`	`singleword`	`singleword` ✓

Single-word names slug correctly; any name with a space collapses to uppercase initials. The placeholder hints e.g product, so the suggestion clearly should be a lowercase kebab slug. (A user can still type a slug manually, and the server accepts the bad value.)

Filed from an automated full-product QA pass on develop @ v0.93.0-64-gb60190ff, fresh DB. Each item below was reproduced live in a clean browser session unless noted.
