🚀 Enhanced Create Project & Removed /react URL Prefix

📊 Create Project Enhancements:
- Added progressPercentage field with validation (0-100 range)
- Updated API data structure to match backend requirements
- Simplified form validation (removed required managers)
- Made team assignment optional with clear UX indicators
- Enhanced form layout with 4-column responsive design

🔧 API Data Structure:
- Streamlined to 10 essential fields: projectName, description, clientName, categoryId, priority, status, startDate, endDate, budget, progressPercentage
- Removed complex fields: managerIds, teamMemberIds, tags, createdDate, isActive
- Proper data type conversion (parseInt, parseFloat)
- Clean JSON structure for backend integration

🌐 URL Structure Improvement:
- Removed /react prefix from URLs by updating package.json homepage
- Clean URLs: localhost:3001/ instead of localhost:3001/react/
- Better SEO and user experience with standard URL patterns
- Professional URL structure following best practices

🎨 UI/UX Improvements:
- Progress percentage field with number input and % suffix
- Beautiful gradient styling for input group elements
- Enhanced form section headers with icons
- Optional field indicators with helpful placeholder text
- Responsive 3-column layout for timeline/budget/progress section

✅ Form Features:
- Real-time validation with clear error messages
- Loading states for API calls
- Success notifications with auto-redirect
- Fallback data handling for offline scenarios
- Professional form styling with hover effects
