Add try do command to graduate tries to permanent projects

We've all been there. You start a quick experiment, and three days later it's actually... good? It works. It has tests. It deserves a real name and a real home.

But it's sitting in ~/src/tries/2025-08-17-redis-pool and you're too deep in flow to deal with the ceremony of moving it, renaming it, making sure git is set up.

So it stays in tries. Forever. Alongside 200 other directories. Some brilliant, some abandoned, all indistinguishable.

try do is the graduation ceremony.

$ cd ~/src/tries/2025-08-17-redis-pool
$ try do

  From: ~/src/tries/2025-08-17-redis-pool
  To:   ~/Work/redis-pool

Name [redis-pool]:

Date prefix stripped. Clean name proposed. One enter and it's moved to ~/Work with git ready to go.

A symlink stays behind, so graduated tries still show up in the TUI — marked with ⭐ instead of 📁. Your experiments list becomes a record of everything you tried, and which ones made it.

Works from subdirectories. Preserves everything — git history, remotes, uncommitted work. TRY_DO_PATH configures where graduated projects land.

No new dependencies. 23 tests. Docs updated.

Really like this! what i'd like to see is that we leave a symlink behind, and then in the UX show symlinks as graduated or ⭐ metadata

@tobi thanks for the feedback. I've updated.
