Description

The interactive project name prompt shown during backlog init uses the blessed TUI. On some terminals all text appears black on a black background, making the prompt unreadable. The UI also feels unnecessarily heavy for a simple question.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] backlog init shows a readable prompt for the project name
• [x] Text is visible on dark terminals
• [x] Tests continue to pass

Implementation Notes

Added explicit foreground/background styles in promptText() and multiSelect() so blessed widgets render with white text on black background. This keeps the interface simple and readable while retaining the TUI features.
