Subject: [PATCH] refactor(ai-create): clarify prompt-rule naming and label the
 counter

- Rename AiPromptRules::promptRule() to wizardPromptRule() so the asymmetry is
  explicit: only the create wizard carries a minimum; the editor's generation
  reuses just the shared maximum.
- Add aria-live and a data-testid to the prompt counter so the over-limit state
  is announced to assistive tech and reachable from browser tests.
