fix: disable proper noun detection by default (too many false positives)

Browse Source 
Proper noun detection (flagging capitalized phrases like "Getting
Started", "Generate Design", "Introduction Getting Started") now
disabled by default. Enable via popup → Options tab → Detect proper
nouns.

The pattern-based detection (IPs, emails, API keys, addresses, paths,
etc.) remains always-on and reliable. The capitalized phrase heuristic
was producing too many false positives on normal UI phrases, headings,
and instructions — adding words to the filter was a losing game.

Added detectProperNouns toggle to popup Options tab.
Updated README to note it's opt-in.

### Proper noun detection (automatic)
### Proper noun detection (opt-in)
The auto-detect scanner also catches capitalized words mid-sentence that might be names, company names, or project names you forgot to configure. For example:
The auto-detect scanner can optionally flag capitalized phrases that might be names, company names, or project names you forgot to configure. **Disabled by default** because it can produce false positives on normal phrases like "Getting Started" or "Generate Design".
| You type | What happens |
|----------|-------------|
| `...talked to Sarah about the deploy` | Flags "Sarah" as a possible name |
| `...the Acme Corp internal API` | Flags "Acme Corp" as a possible organization |
| `...pushed to Project Atlas staging` | Flags "Project Atlas" as a possible project name |
Enable it in the popup → Options tab → **Detect proper nouns**.
These are flagged as warnings (not auto-redacted) so you can decide whether to add them as mappings. Common English words, programming terms, days, and months are excluded to reduce false positives.
When enabled, phrases like "Acme Corp" or "Project Atlas" will be flagged as warnings so you can decide whether to add them as mappings. You can click "ignore" on any false positive to permanently dismiss it.
