Owner

PMS-583 (frontend half)

Title and Department on the contact form stay free-text, but now suggest from the tenant's own past entries (server-sourced, not browser cache, not a fixed dropdown). This is the agreed direction from the ticket discussion: job titles in particular are open-ended, so a closed dropdown is the wrong tool; the suggestion list nudges consistency without blocking new values.

Change

New reusable SuggestInput component (src/components/suggest_input.rs): wraps the shared Input and adds a server-fed suggestion dropdown. Modelled on CompanyPicker but it never forces selection. Typing updates the value directly; picking a suggestion just fills the text. Fetches GET /contacts/field-values?field=<field>&q=<text> and lists the matches; a suggestion equal to the current text is dropped.
Wired into the contact form's Title (field: "title") and Department (field: "department") fields, each with help text noting the values come from the workspace.

No migration

Existing free-text values are exactly what the endpoint suggests from. Nothing to migrate.

Dependency

Needs the mokosh-server GET /contacts/field-values endpoint (companion PR). The dev server is already running that branch, so this is testable end to end now.

Test

Contacts -> New (or edit) -> focus Title and type a letter that matches existing titles: a dropdown of the workspace's past titles appears; click one to fill, or keep typing a brand-new title (preserved). Same for Department.

Title and Department on the contact form stay free-text, but now offer a suggestion list drawn from the tenant's own past entries (via GET /contacts/field-values), not the browser's autofill cache and not a fixed dropdown. Picking a suggestion fills the text; typing any new value is preserved. This nudges consistency without blocking the open-ended values (job titles especially) that a closed dropdown would fight.

Adds a reusable SuggestInput component (wraps the shared Input + a server-fed suggestion dropdown, modelled on CompanyPicker but never forcing selection) and wires it into the contact form's Title and Department fields. No data migration: existing values are exactly what the endpoint suggests from.

Companion to the mokosh-server PR that adds the field-values endpoint.
